I am planning to change out my clutch this Saturday and I just wanted to make sure I had everything I needed.

So here's my list:
1. Clutch kit (CM1)
2. Fidanza flywheel
3. Ceramic TOB
4. 3 quarts Royal Purple Max ATF
5. Clutch cable
6. Back up switch (mines is broke so no reverse light for over 2 years)
7. Loctite for PP bolts.
I know I need new gaskets and seals but I don't know which ones I need, could ya'lls tell me which ones and there PN if possible.

Please tell me anything else I should change or need to buy while I am doing this clutch jobs. Thanks a lot. BTW I have a 92 MTX.

Don't forget to grind down the flywheel dowel pins, or at least check [without the clutch disc] if the pressure plate sits flush on the flywheel without the dowel pins causing problems. If it doesn't seat flush all around, ground the dowels down or you will have a slipping clutch.

brake cleaner or carb cleaner to remove oil/grease from pressure plate, flywheel, and clutch disc.

Axle Seals - Timken 3622S x2

Rear Main Seal - dont know the P/N

and most importantly, PATIENCE ! check your torque specs, assure fitment is as it should be. if you get frustrated, take a break.

Check on the flywheel dowels, do I just grind it down with a dremel or should I take it to Pepboys and have them resurface it also. About the clutch fork I found one at rockauto but they don't have a listing for the bushing. Does the new clutch fork come with a new bushing? Thanks again

I used a grinder to grind mine down. It's the dowel pins, not the surface of the flywheel, so nothing needs to be perfectly flat, just shorter.

more rubber, more HP.....
Other things that might be a little easier to do with the subframe out (as needed):

- replace steering rack

- shim steering rack

- motor mounts

- switch front swaybar/bushings

- weld strut rod receiver (both front and back ends) onto subframe
