Clutch kit - flywheel replacement

Hi and welcome to 2CarPros.

If it is working properly, it isn't necessary to replace anything. As far as the flywheel, you will see marks on it, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

Now, if you want to replace the clutch, it's recommend to replace everything at once. To remove the transmission more than you have to isn't an easy job.

Here are the directions for clutch replacement. The attached pictures correlate with these directions.
