Transmission Jack, A good torque wrench, 10mm Flare Nut wrench to remove the old clutch lines, thread locker (I used Loctite 243 as it was supposed to be "oil resistant" you can buy it on Amazon for about 13 dollars, the bottle looks red, but the liquid is blue) or I've seen and read people just using Loctite 242.

Removing the transmission and replacing the parts is relatively easy. I also lost a lot of time putting the transmission back in lol which I found hilarious, but I guess its always easier to disassemble something rather than reassemble it. I did it by myself but doing it with someone else I would imagine would be much easier. My issue is I had a tiny gap that was even all the way around between the transmission and engine, bolt hole lined up as well. So, I ended up doing what most people say not to do and put in one bolt onto each side of the transmission, threaded it by hand on each side and slowly tighten them with a rachet, making sure each side was even. I did that with the plan of if I felt ANY resistance I would stop and back out.

Also, if you are doing the ZSpeed upgrade, I had to remove the Driver Side Catalytic Converter as I couldn't think of any other way to remove and install the new clutch line, but maybe someone else has an easier way of doing it.

Worth it in the end, I learned a ton which was my initial goal.
