The rule of thumb is to change the pilot bearing and throw out bearing when you do the clutch..
WHY you ask?
..so you do not have to drop the damn transmission twice!

Now,Personally, I would change the clutch just because the trans is out..and it will give you peace of mind knowing that at least that aspect of the car is now sound and you do not have to worry about it!
