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!

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!
