Question on Clutch Replacement

Hi, followed the guide as well at using the Bentley manual but didn't read well enough about slave cylinder..big mistake..had to buy a vacumn pump to bleed. Decided to remove engine and transmission as I also wanted to change the water pump and oil in the supercharger as preventative measures. Glad I did, found the coolant lines to/from the oil filter were badly rusted. Removed them and found them blocked with sludge. Needed an air-line to clean out. Car is a 2002, we have had it for 8 years and I have changed the coolant every 2 years. I don't know if this is a common issue, but thought it may help others if they check when so much is pulled out already for a clutch job. Also, recommend ordering gear oil from Pelican Parts, took me too long to source locally. And try to get hold of a reverse torky set before you start...I didn't...more time wasted.
Hope this helps others.
