I’ve replaced a clutch on that generation of F-150 (a ‘91 4x4), and it’s not the funnest thing I’ve ever done, but it’s not terrible, especially if you have access to a lift. There’s an access panel in the cab around the shift lever that will get you access to a bunch of stuff on the top side of the transmission. The one thing you’ll have to do that I didn’t was bleed the hydraulics for the throwout bearing (you can disconnect the slave cylinder without having to bleed the system). I looked up the procedure at the time, and I don’t recall it being all that bad, but I’ve slept once or twice since then.</blockquote>
