Title: Possible clutch replacement in my future...
Post by: m42 fan on December 03, 2006, 04:37:02 PM

Gentlemen,
     
                 Yesterday I installed my H&R OE/Bilstein HD setup (Looks and works great btw!).  On my test drive, I noticed, for the first time, my clutch slipping. :mad: So, if I'm going to have to drop the Exhaust, Driveshaft, and Tranny, I want to make sure it only has to happen once.  With that in mind, I'd like some suggestions as to what else I should be taking care of while I have the car apart.  Thanks!

Brian

Rear main oil seal, guibo.... and maybe a lighter flywheel and short shifter.

Shifter:  already in...
Guibo:    Standing by...
Rear main seal:  Good call, I'll have to pick one up...
Flywheel: Good idea, but it's not in my plans for the car.  Either too expensive or a PITA, depending on which route you try and go.

Thanks for the ideas, keep 'em coming!
