I agree... no need to tell me. After all my issues I said **** it.

new master
new slave
new flywheel
new clutch
new fluid
new pilot bearing

whole 9 yards.(also did ls1 driveshaft and different rear)

then 3500 miles later the transmission died, and I STILL had to pull the motherfing tranny out again. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]


I didn't do the rear main seal mine looked fine, and figure if it ain't broke don't mess with it.

since you there do every main thing what Eric have listed :
new slave
new clutch
flywheel could be machined
new pilot bearing
dont forget TOB.
new fluid

For the rear main - it comes in the kit , I got mine from napa. RMS + R cover ghasket.
make sure you dont use too much of the RTV on the cover. It could plug the coolant passes.
Someone `ve done it,
you would hate cofe with cream after that..

what is a rear cover gasket and where does it go. i tryed to order it from a few places and no one could tell me

[iGoRa]

to replace the RMS you have to remove the door/cover where it sits. and you def would have to replace this. Napa have it, I've seen they do have a picture of in on the computer. Also I've seen a write-up on that somewhere , I couldn't find it anymore
