Don't forget a good clutch/flywheel combo, female brake line union (to replace NeeSan's clutch line restrictor) and LUBE for the input shaft.


AND... if you're really bad4ss you'll replace the OEM flywheel bolts and pressure plate bolts w/ARPs. The 5.sl0w c0yote flywheel bolts w/ARP chamfered washers and RB26 PP bolts.


Not for sure why the majority on here treat a clutch fluid change like its rocket science....just follow the OEM service manual instructions. I had it dun w/a helper in under 25'.

I'm not replacing the clutch. I'm mostly stock, and I've been perfectly happy with the stock clutch... for now. Definitely not bada$$ enough for ARP at this time.

on the clutch restrictor... I found one at my local AutoZone

For whatever reason, the first time my wife helped me with the clutch fluid, it took us nearly 1L of fluid and 20+ min just to bleed. Second time it was done in a few min (<30 min for the whole job jack stands and all). I don't know what the deal was. Same procedure both times ... just following the FSM.

JARblue,
Was the 2nd time bleed with the restrictor removed?

JARblue

Nope. Stock one is still on there. I've got a replacement one ready to go when I do the transmission work.

I postponed the work cause my buddy had some other obligations. Hopefully we'll get to it soon.
