    About $110 iirc. LCE also has the same set up for $10 or so cheaper. I would definitely put a new shifter bushing in while you're doing the job. It'll make your shifts much smoother and they're only $10-12. This what my old one looked like next to the new one

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    And not sure if you have a 4 or 6 cyl, but be careful of your oxy sensors while yanking and stabbing. I broke mine doing my clutch. Thank god for aftermarket warranty and cool service advisors

    I went with Aisin. did the TG kit and got the flywheel refinished locally (it didn't appear to need to be replaced)
    Wound up just pulling everything back with a tranny jack like someone mentioned above, twist and pull (think its clockwise towards passenger if i remember correctly).
    Clutch was a bit heavier than before but it grabs great on and off road. Granted i think when i got the truck the clutch was going out already (started smelling burny) so it could have always been that heavy like someone mentioned above having it feel like a new oem clutch. It can be a little grabby if i'm not paying attention but i find it handy off road.

    A marlin short throw and bushing like the one Boosted posted above are next on the list. hear nothing but good things about them.

    Good luck OP, Be thorough and don't rush it. Also good idea to have a helping hand if you haven't done something like this before.
