flywheel

Is there something I need to get after I resurface my flywheel or do I just resurface it and then slap it back on the vehicle

There is a transmission forum for this but, no there is nothing you need except the new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and you should always replace the slave cylinder while you got it apart.

sorry I thought the flywheel question would go in the engine forum(seeing as it is on the engine) but sorry bout that I'll know for next time

but anyway the reason I ask is because when I worked for o'reillys they had told me that some vehicles needed shims

No shims. Dont forget the slave cylinder. I did that once and a month later I had to pull the tranny again.

Yea I replaced it with one from the dealer and it looks as though they improved it (ie mine you could see the spring, on the new one it has something like a dust cover) I am just replacing everything that needs to or can be replaced like the rear main seal and the pilot bearing

which I should have done about 4 months ago when the shift forks wore out :'/

The rear seal is a good idea to. The pilot bearing can be a drag to get out. Me I wouldnt mess with it. Not worth it they last forever. I have before though when I wanted it perfect. Thats how I know they can really suck getting them out.

nah I used a 5lb slide hammer with the pilot bearing removal tool attachment and about 2 or 3 good whacks later it came right out, I learned after the last time that having the right tools makes all the difference in the world
