Default Decided to DIY my Clutch and Flywheel

Let's see how a floor jack and a bottle jack can get this trans in and out. I plan to use a bottle jack to hold up the engine and the floor jack to manuever the trans in and out/up down. I ordered the OEM clutch kit, throwout bearing assembly, and flywheel from ECS. Should I be concerned about the pilot bearing? I'll post how the job goes.

Default Rule of thumb was to always replace the throwout bearing...>>>

on a clutch replacement when I was a youngster back in Wisconsin and "Benny" instructed me about replacing the clutch in my car and in my dad's car.

Default Many suggest replacing the slave cylinder as well...

...since you have the tranny dropped.

Yes. When clutch sticks to floor, slave cylinder is the failure.
