I am going to replace the clutch in my '83. The timing belt was done about a year ago with the water pump. The car has near 90K and I have gone thru all the paper work from PO and havent seen anything major, belts, oil...ect. I was planning on doing the following while under the car.

1. replace trans fluid
2. replace RMS
3. re-pack CV,s
4. re-pack wheel bearings F&R
5. paint calipers
6. brake job
7. SS brake lines
8. short shift kit
9. filters and oil

I would like to shorten the shifter but still keep factory ****, just to make it easier to get to radio. Still debating struts and shocks.

It is a week-end toy and stays pampered in the garage. I would like to get it to up to use as a DD, no plans on DE's or racing, occasionally a little sprited on the interstate.

SO.......what did I miss or forget about?

I'd also recommend going over all your suspension components.

Check the rubber on your sway bars if yours was optioned with them
Check for play in the control arms and tie rods
Check for movement on the shocks

These are all safety issues - I caught a potential failure of a tie rod before it happened by doing this.

You may want to do the torque tube bearings also.

check your cv joint bolts, mine would not torque and kept backing out. i guess cause they had stretched and were old. i suggest you pick you some new ones.
