Advice on DIY throw out bearing replacement

Hi Guys,

I have a 03 3.8L V6 bone stock Manual transmission Mustang.

Yesterday I started to hear noise when I depress the clutch pedal. My guess is it's the throw out bearing.

I want to replace it myself, but I've never dropped a transmission, and was wondering if you guys had any advice?

For example, do I need a jack to support the motor while the transmission is out?

If I support the car with jack stands, am I going to have enough clearance to drop and shift the transmission?

Any gotcha's that an experienced mechanic would give to a novice DIYer like myself about the project?

Thanks!
