ok last night i just bought a clutch and pressure plate from this guy in NV off of ebay. i personally think it was a pretty good deal. i believe i got them both for 70 or 67. they seem to be in good condition. i'll post pics. considering that mine was slipping alot. anyway, is it true that u should replace the throw out bearing everytime u change the clutch or is there a way to check if the one u have is fine to reuse? how long should this take on average? is there any oil or lubricant that i need to put in while i change it? do i have to replace the clutch master or slave cylinders??
thanx for advice. im gonna look in my hanes manual to get an idea of whats ahead.

You don't need to mess with hydraulics.
The master cylinder is for your foot, the slave cylinder is just a piston that pushes a dry fork that leads to the inside of the transmission
You can go outside and unbolt your slave cylinder and hang it on the firewall, and that's all you have to worry about when it comes to hydraulics. You won't even need to bleed lines or add fluid.

he says that it was an aftermarket clutch pulled from a 90 gtu....he also says that it can be used on all n/a 7's from 83-91. i though 83-88 clutches were different from 89-91. or is that only some manufacturers specs.
