Installing an ACT Clutch/Flywheel - Help
Hi,
So I am going to be installing a new ACT Clutch/Flywheel Kit (Street) on my 03 WRX. Ive read a few write ups on how to do it but I still had a few questions that I could not find.
1) What other parts (gastkets, fluid, ect.) should be replaced during this kind of installation.
2) What wear and tear parts on a car with 104k miles on it should I also replace while doing this kind of work on my Impreza.
3) Should this really be an installation I do on my own with 3 other friends who have never done this before? Or should I leave it to the pro's?
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Rear main seal, Input shaft seal on both sides of the tranny if you're pulling it.

If you wanna go for gold, be brave and tear and rebuild the tranny, syncros and gears that looks worn or damaged and put an LSD in it. Do the axle boots as well. Its excessive but if you're there.....
That depends. are your friends gonna stick with it? or are they gonna call it quits?
