While I'm in there (RMS & clutch)
I have been living with a RMS leak for a few months but have decided to fix it and replace the clutch at the same time (60K miles on the current clutch).
I have ordered the following replacement part:
- Sachs clutch kit (pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing,...)
- LUK flywheel (not the lightweight, please do not start me on that) and bolts
- clutch release fork and shaft
- slave cylinder and connecting hose (my clutch pedal suffers the hanging problem)
- master cylinder
- flywheel pilot bearing
- flywheel seal
- main shaft seal
Anything else you can think of while I'm in there?

Don't know your mileage, and assuming you are doing an engine drop, how are your spark plug wires?

Are you dropping the engine to do this? If so, I'd definitely do the spark plugs, wires, power steering belt, SAI check valve, and fuel filter. And clean up the engine bay.

See you in the spring.
