Clutch replacement questions

[SYNFULL]

Hi,
I need to replace the clutch on my 99 gts acr. I am going to have my local mechanic do it and he asked me some questions. Do I need to replace the slave cylinder when I do the clutch? How much is the part? Also, is there a throwout bearing involved? If I need a flywheel, how much is a stock one? I know an aluminum one goes for $400 but I don't know if I want to go that route.
Thanks!
Gary

get a spec3... it has everything you need. cheap and good. will also handle lots of power. spec2 if you are worried about anything.

good luck!

I already bought a Luk. I read that it was a direct replacement for oem. Did you need to replace the slave cylinder? Also, how much was your new flywheel, if yo don't mind me askin
Thanks

no need to replace the flywheel. Luk is a direct replacement. SPEC comes w/ throwout bearing, alignment tool, and pilot bearing. no need to reaplce slave cyl...

You wont know if you have to replace either one UNTIL you get them out and look at them.

I replaced my clutch and slave cylinder this past summer.

The LUK clutch replacement kit comes with pressure plate, disk and throwout bearing. LUK Part# 05-088

The LUK slave cylinder comes without the bearing.
LUK Part# LSC134

Costs were Kit = $190, Slave = $205 plus tax & shipping

Dave,
Was the slave cylinder leaking or did you just decide it was better to do it while you were doing the clutch?
Thanks!!

I was having problems shifting into 3rd gear, so pulled the trans to put in new synchros. Decided to replace clutch and slave just to be safe.
