Materials Needed to Change Clutch

Ok I Searched before anyone asks and didn't come to much of a result. Here is the List so far:

Clutch Disk and Pressure Plate
Release Bearing
Pilot Bearing and Dust Seal
Clutch Alignment Tool
3 Quarts of Lucas MT Fluid


What else should i get to go with all this in order to keep the tranny from leaking and in good working order for a while.

you may want to inspect your slave cylinder and hose and clutch master as well. wouldnt hurt to replace the clutch hose. i replaced all of ine with braided stainless from racing beat.

get a quart of good quality brake fluid as well. you're going to need it to bleed the clutch hydraulic system. you'll also want to wipe out the and clean the clutch master's resivour. get all that crud out of there. you should also get a new tailshaft (outputshaft) seal for the trans. replace it while the reans is out.

Ok here is an updated list

Clutch Disk and Pressure Plate
Release Bearing
Pilot Bearing and Dust Seal
Clutch Alignment Tool
3 Quarts of Lucas MT Fluid
Braided Clutch Line
Synthetic Brake Fluid
Output Shaft Seal


As far as changing the output shaft seal do i have to take any of the tranny apart? what do i have to do to change it?

Feel Free to tell what else i would need. Thanks for the help also.

no, the output shaft seal taps in at the very end of the trans. remove with a seal puller and taps in with either a seal installer or very carefully with a hammer. you may also want to consider installing a new front seal as well. parts are here:

i usually buy my output shaft seals at napa just because i can have them quicker.

Since you are doing proper clutch install and you are going to remove the pressure plate to get it resurfaced, you can also change the engine rear main seal.
