Most mechanics won't 'guarantee' the work or have any warrenty on their work if you give them a clutch to install.
Learning is one thing, but that takes time. NOT a quick tell me how to do this and I'm gonna try. I give props to someone of course who would want to if it works out in the end. I learned how to install a tranny by just watching and helping. But it was along side someone who knew what they were doing. No way I would have attempted without help especially since it was on a freaking Honda and it was a BIOTCH to get to.

And there's a reason why I said to ask the mechanic if they would install a part he found elsewhere. Obviously if he would buy a used one seperately and have a mechanic install it he would know he's not getting a warranty on a used part. Well I'd certainly hope not (some exclusions apply as some refurbished parts have some warranty). BUT if it's a brand new part and he buys it from a different parts store than where the mechanics shop gets it he could still, very well, get the typical warranty. I've done this many times with mechanics. You just have to ask to know for sure what they are willing to do for you.

I don't know about you but I learn quicker when I'm doing it. I can ask all the advice I need, but until I do it and make a mistake or get it done properly I don't fully understand something.

Thats what I meant. I find it awesome that you know your way around under the hood, but so do others around here, and discouraging those who do not is just like saying "I will not teach you" to someone asking for help.

My main thing is people need to do some research, THEN ask for help, get into it and then ask more specific questions if they get stuck. That's how one learns something.

Ok first off I didn't discourage anyone. Also I said I'd give props to someone if they could do it that way. ALSOOOOOOOOOO I wasn't the only one who said to take it to someone who knows how to do it.

But I'm not going to sit here and argue over something that the maker of the topic understood what I was saying. And since it was aimed towards him I don't care how you took it.

NUF SAID

Well my comment was aimed at everyone who discourages someone from learning something new and asking questions... you just happened to be someone who knows more about cars than others, and thus, you got quoted.
