Hello,

Anytime the clutch gets replaced it is recommended to replace the pressure plate and the throw-out bearing as well. Typically, you can get a clutch kit that will have all the components necessary.

Also, it is important to resurface the flywheel before installing the new clutch. This will ensure proper engagement and good life expectancy for the clutch.
Typically, the flywheels can be resurfaced from your local auto parts or machine shops.

On this vehicle the transmission has to be removed first in order to replace the clutch.

I have attached diagrams for both the clutch and the transmission below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
