As for the flywheel, I might as well do that. I have no idea if it's ever been replaced. (probably not) Thanks for the input.
No problem. The reason being that you may want to look into replacing the flywheel is with that many miles and depending on how many times your flywheel has been resurfaced, the clutch is going to engage high, too high. Mine is doing just that and engaging probably 75% of its travel off the floor. Therefore too much material has been taken off the flywheel for my liking and even my friends who have driven my car's liking. So its not just me. Plus SPEC doesnt recommend the stock flywheel with their clutch. I forget their reason, which is somewhat legit if I recall but its probably also to do with making a sale. Regardless, if you do in fact buy new flywheel remember to have it balanced to your old one. Aftermarket components sent in the mail arent always in perfect balance. In some cases, they are way off.

Thanks again! Yeah, I'm sure I'd have to have it balanced. My clutch as well is gripping at about 75-80% of it's travel. It's bad enough to were if I let my foot go with about 2-3 inches left, the car lunges foward. This is going to be my 1st fix as soon as I get the green.
