Used Clutch ?
#2
just being used isn't a source of issues but being on ebay is. Buying a used clutch is like buying used brakes. Will they work, maybe. And that's kinda the problem. If you're going to buy a used clutch at least stick to kevlar friction material. No organic, semi-metallic etc friction discs... Kevlar fabric at least doesn't really wear much. Kevlar/ceramic matrix's aren't good used either.

agreed. Know exactly what you're getting when you buy a used wear part.
My kevlar is used but I helped install it and the owner was a good friend of mine... I know it had <1000 miles on it. He hated it. I loved it.

So I decided not to get the used clutch cause it went on ebay for like $20.00 less than a brand new one. I seriously dont know why someone would buy it for that much , being used.
Here's what I'm gonna get.

And the TOB # CTF-N1714.
Is there anything else I should be looking at or replacing when I'm in there. I am installing SLP LT's and x-pipe time. All in prep for the D1SC just waiting to be put in.

You should also definitely consider replacing the pilot bearing. It is a cheap part (pick it up from Randy). You would definitely hate to have to go back in there not long down the road just because of that.
Everything else is probably ok. Just make sure to inspect the clutch fork, pivot ball, and the shaft on which the TOB rides to make sure it isn't scarred up and such.
Trust me, if you are doing it yourself, pulling the tranny is not fun, especially if you do it for something stupid.

Resurface really necessary
I am doing my clutch tomorrow and need to know if a resurface of my flywheel is necessary or how to check if it is necessary. I would get it resurfaced but the problem is I have nobody near that could do it and that would mean my car would be out till next weekend. Any thoughts. Thanks.

If you are reusing the stock flywheel, it must be resurfaced otherwise you will have chatter problems. If you do not want to wait fo it to be remachined, you can get a stock replacement for slightly more than the cost of resurfacing.
#16
My car has 18,000 miles on it. Is it necessary to resurface the flywheel, or is there a way to check it to see if it is needed. I am trying to avoid tying up my pops garage for 2 weekends cause I can only work on it during the weekends.
