Looks good Robert, good luck on the install.

Looks great. Now don't forget to resurface the flywheel for a long, chatter free life.

How was the clutch messed up if the car was unmolested

Assuming it being a SSP car, I bet it wasn't driving very nicely most of its life

Be sure and replace the rear main seal, and inspect the bearing retainer(the alum ones suck) on the trans and replace the input shaft seal for it, i'd do the seal in the tail housing too while you are in there.

Unmolested to me= never been torn down or tinkered with, it's a true stock High Mileage car with 6 digit odo.

Exactly, however other than the clutch car feels good

Thanks, found a local guy who I might take it to-Not sure if I'm capable.

You can do it (rear main). I am almost done doing mine and I aint no smarty pants. If no one else has stated a pilot bearing now is a good time for that as well. Rent a puller (free) and replace that too. Rear main is super easy just need a good tool to tap in in straight.

I went with the RAM 900 clutch BTW. Hope it doesn't kill my T-5 I am right at 290hp 330tq to the wheels with 285 street tires out back
