hi, my T50 needs a overhall, i have a service manual and it all looks pretty straight forward. i am just a little unsure if i should give it a go. changing a clutch is the limit of my expeirence, is it best left to a professional??
I know this is a hard question for someone else to answer, just wanted to hear a fellow backyarders expeirence before i pull it into a million bits!

if you dont feel comfortable, it will cost you around the $500 mark for a rebuild!!!

if you have a good manual for it, with goo dpictures (so you can see the parts orientation) it shouldn't be too hard.
it gets easier with time.. i can disassemble and reassemble a K box in under an hour now 
change bearings if they rumble or are rough, change all seals, check synchros for wear. check for missing teeth

thanx for your thoughts, i was going to do it myself unless someone said something like "this is very hard takes skill and years of expeirence..." im going to pick up a bearing kit on friday and give it a go. i am pretty confident it will be sweet, will let u know how i go!
