#31106 what are the things that need when replacing clutch? aside from clucth disc assy.

will they open the tranny? will I have to replace my tranny fluid also? does the EG have tranny gaskets? what are the things I have to look for and replace at the same time so that the service is just one time.

#31140 Throw out bearing and 3 quarts of Honda MTF. No gaskets are needed but you can replace the gaskets at the axels. Also make sure you have a clutch alignment tool if you are doing it yourself to make it a hell of a lot easier. Also, I always get the flyheel resurfaced.

fly wheel re-surfaced (like $45) and check your rear main oil seal. Good time to replace since you'll already have the clutch and flywheel out, makes for less head ache later on down the road.

#31404 would that lightweight flywheel would do as a good replacement for the stock? or much better to stick w/ the stocl? what would you recommend

#31407 if your car is your daily driver, I'd go with stock, or no more than a couple of lbs lighter. After using both stock and an 8 lb, I won't go as light next time on a daily driven car. A little more weight just feels stronger.
