Make sure the springs in the disc are tight and you have plenty of meat left. I don't know how many miles or abuse is on this clutch but you are pulling the trans anyway, might be a good time for a new one. Check throw out bearing too. Listen to the little guy on your shoulder, he's a pain but right 99.8% of the time and warns you.. You could check with Brent for a great price on a clutch and flywheel. Rick.
Thanks for the input. I haven't pulled the tranny yet and I am not the one that put it together so I am not sure what flywheel is there. I like your idea about the lighter one. Are there any common problems using the lighter flywheel? I will look at everything once it is out. Thanks again for the input,
Tony
