Re: Clutch

[jtrealty@xxxx]

The clutch plate is a wearable item. The pressure plate can get burnt. 
The bearings should be replaced just because you are in there. If you 
aren't sure about the clutch and pressure plate take the parts to a 
large shop in you area that rebuilds clutchs and have them look the 
parts over. You can inspect the flywheel yourself for grooves and heat 
cracks. They can quickly point out what you will need and match it up. 
The wear is mainly a function of your driving style and the mileage 
accumulated. As long as the trans is out if you have alot of miles on 
it you might want to reseal it. At the very least change the oil. If 
the slave cylinder is leaking now would be a good time to replace it 
and also the clutch hydralic line if it hasn't been changed to a 
braided steel line. You should at least flush the brake fluid with DOT 
4.
