Default What items do you need for a new clutch?

I went the track the other night and realized that my clutch is slipping somthing awful. I know its time for a new clutch and I want to do the fly wheel as well. Can someone tell me what parts are needed. So far I know: pressure plate, clutch flywheel... thats it.. what about the throw out bearing and everthing else. Also anyone who has experience in this can you give me prices for parts and installation too?

Throw out bearing, clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing, cluth alignment tool, high-temp grease, and that's all I can think of right now.

sometimes you can re-use the throw out bearing but they are only 30 bucks i think so you might as well get it so it doesn't mess up later

Why don't you just buy a clutch kit? It's only like 250 to 300 dollars I think.... either that or go with a stage 1 aftermarket clutch. Its only like 50 or 60 dollars more.

If you buy an excedy or ACT clutch kit it comes with the disk, pressure plate and throw out bearing.

thanks a lot that is extremely helpful. I am really wanting to do the install myself but I think im going to get a helm manual first. When doing the instal do you have to lift the engine out or can the trans be pulled away. Also how hard is this project without air tools?

You don`t have to pull the engine out. Just unbolt the tranny from the engine and pull it away and down. It is a 3-5 hour job to change the clutch depending on your experiance and any problems you run into. You can do it without air tools but its alot easier and quicker with air tools. Good luck :thumbup:
