I am wondering if anyone has any input, I try not to ask for help often but I (for some reason) quit my job with a excellent shop. Now I am sitting 1000 km from home in a crew house, waiting to fly up to the arctic circle.
I will have some time off and am looking to order all the parts and have them installed by a shop. I just finished doing a head gasket with all the W.Y.A.I. stuff but with the new job I cant work on my own car anymore.
I am looking for some advice on what the problem could be and if anyone knows which kit to buy (with new/resurface flywheel?).
Thanks,
Stephen

Stephen,
Sounds like an exciting job.
I guess the noise is from a dry TO bearing waiting to fail.
You must be making a lot more CAD in the new job because shop labor rates --guessing for Canada --will cost about CAD1500 base++++for machine work and beer for the crew. Parts extra that fail when taken apart and of course the expected telephone call from the shop saying your need to replace-----just put your worst nightmare here.
For a base '86NA just go with a 3 piece Sachs kit.
The PP & Flywheel should be checked and machined....then balanced as one part together to avoid vibration over 3300rpm and above.
Lots of small parts inside the clutch to replace,
Fork rod bearings
Clutch fork if fingers worn
Guide tube
New FW bolts & PP bolts
Gaskets for the exhaust
Repack CV joints
New sound deadener under shift lever
Oh, the shop has parts you may not even know were bad---Muffler Bearings ??
GL on the new job.
