Default Clutch Replacement

My clutch is slipping in 4/5/6 gear when lugging and applying the accelerator so time for a new clutch. I have an aftermarket clutch ready and have new couplers and bearings for the TT. Any other parts I should plan on proactively replacing while I have the TT out for the clutch??

Fuel filter and O2 sensors. You might want to replace your exhaust manifold nuts with ARP and use a good copper antiseize lube. Also replace your exhaust gaskets where the mufflers connect. Check your ball joints as well, especially the lower ones. Change your clutch fluid to Castol SRF. I would also get some heat reflective sheathing for your remote bleeder, slave and O2 sensors.

Yes, do the slave and remote bleeder. Torque tube bushings while you're in there. RPM transmissions sells a kit.
