    So I'm making my shopping list:

    • Resurface Replacement Flywheel
    • Clutch Kit
    • Rear Main Seal on the Motor
    • Front main Seal on the Transmission
    • Shift Boots
    • Little bastard cooling hose for the oil cooler


    Anything else I am missing?

    Throw out bearing and Transmission tail shaft seal. Maybe go ahead and change the trans fluid while you are at it since you will most likely spill some on the floor anyway. Maybe the bushing that goes on the end of the shifter since I just had to replace mine recently. How about a braided slave cylinder hose? I have a used one I'll sell you cheap. Probably also a good time to check the motor mounts since the drivers is normally a PITA to access with the exhaust in place.

    Not sure if it is the same for NB 6MT, but the Motorcraft Synthetic trans fluid has been terrific in the NC, much smoother shifts than oem. Pretty reasonable at any Ford stealership.

    Here is what we suggest when doing a clutch.

    Clutch and pressure plate
    Throw-out bearing
    Pilot bearing
    Rear main seal
    Front trans seal
    Front trans gasket
    Tail shaft seal
    Motor mounts (If your's are original they're probably torn. Since you are removing the header anyways, the motor mounts are a few more steps)
    Gear oil (2 qts)

    Small and large shift boots

    Optional

    Lightened fly wheel
    Diff Oil (1 qt)
    ...and across the line.

    All the parts look good if it's a 5-speed. The front trans gasket is for 5-spd only and is FE50-16-225A

    If you have a 6-spd, forget the front trans gasket and replace the front trans seal for Y601-17-131

    Why not go with the mazdaspeed motor mounts? I can bring a pair to Propwash if you'd like.

    I guess I just don't see the advantage.

    Why put the competition mounts on it? More vibration?? Impress the JDM crowd?? Why???

    Actually I just asked the kid and she likes it the way it is so stock mounts is what I'll get. I can always switch them later.

    Honestly it's your call and yes you will feel a little more vibration with the MS mounts, but they will also last longer.
