Manual Trannie Upgrades

Well next weekend im goin to swap out my clutch, pressure plate and master cylinder. Im replacing them will all ford OEM parts as i couldnt find any other decent brands. The parts i was told to get were they clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing, throwout bearing, and master cylinder.


1) Are there any other parts i need?
2) Is this a safe under taking for a partially mechanically inclined person with a partner who has done this before on the old mechanicle clutches?
3) Any advice? instructions? notes? websites to give me some help?

Thanks all!

biggest heads up on this job is to bear in mind that the pressure plate is adjustable, and needs to be backed down before installation. Usually the ones out of the box are already in the proper position and this isn't an issue.

Other than that, a clutch is a clutch.

good luck
