Good time to change the tranny fluid.

The throwout bearing retainer if youre still running the stock aluminum one... It will eventually start to chirp!

if you dont need a new flywheel, you can have yours resurfaced at a machine shop for ~$30

The useful thread has a great write-up by 5spd GT - he outlines part numbers and all the good stuff to replace. Give it a once-over if you feel like it.

I'd also consider replacing the RMS if yours leaks (if it doesnt and it isnt vulcanized, you might just wanna leave it alone).

The clutch fork and pivot should be inspected as well.

Good luck.

if you are really low on money
you can also just rough up the surface with sand paper

Throw out bearing, throw out bearing retainer, tranny mount, pilot bearing, fluid, rear main seal, driveshaft seal on your tranny...I just swapped mine last weekend so its fairly fresh...

You can reuse all bolts if they are in good shape during a clutch swap and keeping a nice array of sockets and deep well sockets is a good idea.

As Jt stated, I have a write-up in my signature if you would like to know torque specs and more procedural notes on the install. Good Luck!

I used 5spdGT's write up when I did my clutch swap a couple months ago. It was very useful.

Get that flywheel resurfaced, I have seen a few guys not do this and it chatters afterwards.
