Replacing the clutch

[Brewster]

Well I'm about to replace the clutch because it's slipping very badly. I've never done it before and was wondering what else I will need besides a clutch disk. I was just going to go with a stock one since I don't plan on making more than about 300WHP anytime soon.

Budget in having the Flywheel surfaced as well.

While you're in there may as well replace the rear main seal and pilot bearing.

OK, anything else? AFAIK everything is original and has about 100k miles.

If you buy a clutch kit you'll get a Pilot bearing maybe

You get a PP a Disc and Throwout bearing that with a rear main seal and surface the Flywheel and you should be good to go.

Check the Uni's and Centre bearing and Clutch Slave while you're under there.

If you change the rear main, but sure you put some lube on it prior to install. Otherwise, you'll be changing it again in 300 miles.

I'm a fan of.. if it's not broke, don't fix it. I've never changed out a rear main when doing a clutch job. YMMV.

hey, this summer will be the third time i've replaced my clutch. the first time i just threw the clutch in and the RMS blew. the next time i replaced the RMS and clutch disk(the old one was ruined by the oil) and now the tranny is leaking. so this time i dont care WTF it is if it was in there when i tear it appart it getting replaced. RMS, Trans seals, PP and FW bolts, clutch disk, rebuild the slave cyl., i dont care i want this thing to work.
