Upcoming project
In a few weeks im probably going to start doing my clutch. My question is what should i expect to change besides the clutch, PP, TO bearing? Is there anything else to order since im trying to stock up all the parts before the project. At the same time im also getting a lightened flywheel, slave and master cylinders, and trans mount which is one of the main reasons im doing this. I figured since the trans has to be lowered i may as well fix my clutch i know is bad. The clutch im going to buy is the lr spec stage 2 and im getting the solid trans mount for durability. My question with that is what are if any downfalls to the solid mount? I know noise is one but just how bad is the noise? Is this recommended? Thanks

Repack the C/V joints, drain and refill the transaxle with fresh fluid and make sure every part you pull out is cleaned before reinstall. What kind of shape are your torque tube bearings in? If they are noisy, now is a good time to change them.

Im not sure if my torque tube bearings are good or not, i get a fast tapping noise i guess on deceleration in lower gears. I was kinda contributing that to the clutch center but who knows. are the bearings cheap to replace anyway?

With the trans out, check all the seals on the trans.

also, is it normal for the cluch to be stiff when the car isnt running then soften up a little bit when running?
