Tell me, what do I really need and what is Pelicans suggestion for items that I might not need.
I am hoping I can have my flywheel resurfaced. I'll know soon enough but I am unfortunately doubting it so I might buy a new one from pelican anyway.

How terrible would it be to just replace the clutch and pressureplate only - hoping that the flywheel is ok.

INSIGHT for a clutch replacement virgin NEEDED....

Thanks.

It's been awhile since I did one, but from my memory the essentials are the disk, pressure plate and throwout bearing stuff. When I just didn't have the money I was able to get by without doing anything to my flywheel, but it looked like it was in good shape.

I don't think you need to do the crankshaft seal unless you are having a leak issue, but it' probably one of those "while you are in there" kind of things. Once you pull off the flywheel you've done 99% of the work and the seal isn't that much money. If you change the flywheel or have it cut then I would think you'd need the rest of the flywheel stuff, except the bolt.

You can't reassemble without a clutch alignment tool - an old input shaft is the best thing if you can find one.

Don't forget the muffler bearing - most critical part in the whole job!

YMMV. If I've screwed this up then I'm sure other's will jump on this and remind me of how stupid I can sometimes be!

many will replace the mainshaft seal "As Long As" you're in there...

It's not really a hard job,

With all the right tools layed out before you start,you can have the transmission out and on the floor in less than an hour.You have no need to remove the engine.Just have it blocked up securely.A 901 weighs about 75lbs,so no problem man-handling it or using a jack there.

The rest is just replacing anything that can wear,or leak.

it's not hard... get your flywheel turned at a machine shop if it's still in spec, that will cost much less than a new one...

I highly recommend the Pelican 15(ish) piece kit... it's good to replace all of those little things while you are already in there...
