I have the clutch sitting at my parents house just waiting to get installed. I'm getting my new cowl hood and SS spoiler painted next week and hopefully have time to get the clutch installed by June 1st. I bought a new pilot bearing. Is there anything else I should replace? Is it ok not changing the slave cylinder or should I upgrade that as well? Is there aything else to check on while I'm in there. Also, any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Go ahead and replace the rear main seal while you're that deep. Its pretty straight forward, but make sure you pay super-close attention to the shims when you pull the clutch apart for the install.

Yeah, get yourself a new slave cylinder as a precaution. I just had this clutch put in, and did the clutch, adjustable master cylinder, slave cylinder, pilot bearing, and rear main seal. $650 installed including the slave cylinder, rear main, and pilot bearing prices. Ouch. Hope you can pull it off yourself and save some cash.

Thanks for the replies! Two of my friends are gonna help out, both with strong mechanic backgrounds. I might as well do it right the first time and spend the money for new parts.

Did you use an aftermarket or another stock slave cylinder?

As far as I know, there's not an available aftermarket slave cylinder. I spoke with a McLeod rep earlier this week, and there's a McLeod LT1 slave in the works, but it's still a few months off. Stock will work fine.
