Have you changed all the brake fluid , the clutch & slave share the same fluid as the brakes. Not too hard
14mm & 17mm
Thanks man for the info and advice, I will likely be doing what you outlined above. My car shifts great, I don't want to do anything to change that. I'm not too confident in lifting the car with jack and jack stands based on the few mounting points this car seems to have. Luckily there is a DIY shop not too far from me where I can pay by the hour, they will put it on a lift for me and I can do the work myself. Just prepping for the materials and tools I will need for the job.
I see it's recommended that the differential bolts are to be replaced for this job, but no the transmission bolts?
