    Haunt done mine yet but looking into it.
    you will need:
    Brake/clutch fluid
    Gearbox fluid
    I'd do the release bearing while your at it too.

    What about the spigot/pilot bearing....they rarely fail, but can do, and are cheap and easy to fit when doing the changeover.

    Thrust bearing and new flywheel bolts, new pressure plate dowel pins if the getrag uses them?

    okay
    brake/clutch fluid i have.
    tranmission fluid i change about 2,000k ago can i drain this on a clean bottle and re use? as long as there are no shavings or parts that should not be in a gearbox :/
    thrust bearing and spigot bearing will be purchased
    why flywheel bolts? the exact same flywheel will be going in.

    thanks for the help

    Flywheel bolts are torque to yield, the threads will be stretched and wont clamp as well used second time around
