Preventative maintenance ?

When I do my clutch should I replace my rack and p/s lines?

Should I sell my LUK and get a Hi revs jr. instead w/ ceramic tob? Should I worry more about the diff pin ejecting if I go the other way.
Car has 110k, I think the tob is eating the fingers.
Will still get second, but I rarely do that.

Not unless they are leaking or not working properly.

What don't you like about the LuK clutch and where exactly do you plan on buying a Hi Revs Jr. since AFAIK they haven't been available for several years???

99% of people are fine with a stock-equivalent clutch. The ceramic TOB is definitely a sound investment.

no question...get the ceramic TOB. and unless you're planning on heavily modding it in the near future, oem clutch'll do ya right fine.

I just wanted a little more bite. I was going to buy one used, but someone else got it anyway.
I thought the main reason for the tob problems worn out clutch fork pivot bushings. I was going to buy the teflon ones from shonut and just use the regular tob.

The only issue I had with the rack others on here have also. When it was cold outside before the car warmed up, there was a tight spot just off center in either direction. I posted and a few other people have the same issue. I tried flushing the fluid and I don't think it made a difference.
Nothing seems to be leaking, I haven't had to add fluid. I'll just leave it for now.
thanks guys

One more question. I was considering taking apart the trans to install new roll pins for the diff pin, and input seal. I was thinking of welding it, but I don't want any adverse affects, plus I honestly think it takes a lot to throw a pin. I beat the living snot out of my first sho and it took a long time to eject the diff pin.
I have rebuilt a couple t5s, i'm pretty confident I could complete the job if it's recommended. Any special tools needed? As always the advice is much appreciated. .
I read you can check the pins by taking an axle out, what do I look for. When I looked the last time I saw one pin that goes all the way through and the other two are two peices that stick out a little, if that makes sense

I was going to buy the shshop clutch because of what I read about clutch strap breakage also.
