I now have 4 layers of heater hose (cut so it's flat) over my front mount. It goes between the top of the mount and the U-shaped travel limit bracket. This gets rid of the up and down play of the front of the engine. For the clutch there is plenty of info out there. In summary you:1) remove the turbo pipes, 2)remove the plastic shroud with a few bolts. 3)press in clutch and insert pressure plate spacer, 4) remove driveshaft cover and slide driveshaft forward, torward the radiator. 5) loosen 3 bolts that attach slave cyl to tranny, 6)remove 6 bolts that attach pressure plate to flywheel. Then slide clutch and slave out as a unit. Only trick is you have to separate pressure plate about 1/4 inch from flywheel to get it past the alignment studs. Don't be fooled into using a spark plug wire or lawnmower throttle cable as a spacer tool. Spend the $15 on the right spacer ring. It's well worth the saved frustration of fighting to get the clutch in and out. The last time I was actually able to replace the clutch without removing the clutch hydraulic line from the slave cylinder. Another idea that most overlook is when you can't get the spacer fitted 100%. If you stick the spacer in but it doesn't go quite all the way in, let the clutch out with the spacer like it is and press the clutch in again. It will get more fluid and press the clutch in even farther, allowing you to shove spacer in 100%
