Definitely get your flywheel resurfaced or if you're willing to drop 8 bills on a flywheel look into a lightened one (like JB racing) You should do the pilot bearing, throw out bearing, rear main seal, and i would recommend doing the clutch master and slave cylinder if you got the cash for it. I think that's all, well it was all i did when i had my transmission off a few weeks ago.

What are the for sure parts that need to be replaced and the do it while im there parts that I need to replace? I know what I have seen in the clutch kits but do some of them have more than I need?

Thanks for the info dude, makes me feel a lit better about it all.

You don't need to replace it but it's a good idea to have it re-surfaced. Most brake/tune up joints can do it, usually runs $20-$30.

Its time to replace the clutch on my 6/86 325e. I have been looking at pelican's clutch kits. they are labeled either with or without Twin Mass Flywheel. I did a little searching and think have found that i have the Twin Mass Flywheel. Is this right? Next question is do I need to replace the flywheel ($833 on pelican)? I have never done a clutch before so im not sure what a bad flywheel looks like. I know you can have them honed if they are not too bad but what should I be looking for? is there a source for a less expensive flywheel, or any other options?

Thanks for the help guys.
