Here is something that could trip you up: Make sure the tiny cap is on the fitting for the hydrolic clutch line on the top of the transmission and is seated properly before the transmission is installed. If it's not there, the system will leak profusely when you go to pressureize the clutch system and you'll be unhappy-because a lot of work will need to happen to properly install this peice.
From what I understand the LSJ Build Book does not suggest replacing the throw out bearing.
Here is what you need:
Performance Clutch
Pressure Plate
Flywheel
Alignment Tool
^ Above all came with the Exedy Combo
GM clutch flywheel bolts aka crank bolts (these 8 bolts connect the flywheel to the crank)
If the clutch your using did not come with a new throw out bearing the stock one should be used. This is not something you have to replace with brand new.

Well, now that I have the clutch/flywheel in I'm going to make a thread about how much it sucked doing this. This was by far the hardest mod I did to any car. What a nightmare!

It is all done. After some problems finding the right tools and running into problems now thats it all done it was well worth the time. Bleeding the clutch was the easiest part. Just did it the old fassion way. You have no idea how awesome this is untl your done. I would suggest to anyone to get a exedy clutch/flywheel/pressure plate and swap over to 75W-90 Max Gear Oil in the tranny. This baby shifts like silk!
