Default Clutch DIY?

I am about to buy the ra4 stage 1 clutch from ecstuning. I have been searching everywhere for a diy from the transmission, I'm not planning on removing the engine as we have a full car lift and tranny lift. Every one I find is either removing the engine or for a b6. I have a 98 A4 1.8TQ, in addition should I replace anything else while I'm in besides the stuff that comes with the kit such as the clutch fork?
Also on completely unrelated topic, I found a use for the visor above the rear- view mirror. if you're tall like me or if you sit up straight when there is some a**hole behind you with their high beams on, it actually blocks it so you can see behind you. doesn't work all the time but when it does its very nice

For reference I just searched A4 B5 clutch DIY. It was the second link.

Also, the B6 one should get the job done, but main idea, take the bolts out and drop the tranny Its actualy easier if you just drop the whole subframe completely. I think after dropping the sub the trans was in an out in around an hour when I did it. It lowers the two or three top bolts that are a pain in the *** to get to and we just used a swivel impact and ripped them all right off. Id gladyly pay the 50 bucks for a new alignment after saving all the headache.
