It's pretty heavy with the transfer case, so make sure he has a good jack and working surface to work on if he doesn't have access to a lift. I prefer using genuine Nissan clutch kits...or at least a reputable aftermarket brand like Valeo or Exedy. Make sure he replaces the clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing and pilot bushing. With the trans out, it's a good time time to replace the rear main seal, which are a common leak on VG engines. I also smear a bead of RTV sealant along the oil pan rear lip seal, which is also a common area for oil leaks (clean the area first with brake cleaner and dry thoroughly).
