why would you need a mechanic? hardest thing about changing the brake booster is bleeding the brakes when you're done... I just had to change the master cylinder, and bleeding the clutch is MUCH harder...

I'm seventeen, never taken an auto class, and only started working on my first vehicle/jeep/etc last winter, get a repair manual, borrow some tools, and learn yourself some mechanics! haha...

So far, I have;
dropped tranny and changed clutch,
changed axle seals in rear (helps that I have non-c-clip d35, but opened the diff to check gears anyways).
pieced together and put in my own budget lift
tracked down vac leaks and diagnosed the cause of my own high idle (finally!)
put in new stereo/speakers
Many other tiny things

I've done almost all of this by myself or with minimal work, it helps to have garage full of a plethora (in the true meaning of the word) of tools. My dad works all the time, but he managed to help me most with the tranny drop. Also thanks to him and his dad for never throwing away old tools.

Either way, I'm continually investing in more of my own tools that stay in my jeep; I'll need a full socket and torx set soon.
