Hey guys..

I just ordered this McLeod clutch for my 08 GT: http://www.americanmuscle.com/mcleod-superstreetpro-clutch-0510gt.html

Thinking about ordering this flywheel: http://www.americanmuscle.com/mcleod-steel-flywheel-6bolt.html

My mechanic told me I'll need a new slave cylinder as well, will this exedy part be compatible with my setup? http://www.americanmuscle.com/exedy-tob-slavecylinder-0513.html

WHat else should I upgrade now that I'll be replacing the clutch? McLeod told me I'd also need these bolts for a new flywheel http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mcl-1505

Lastly, should I also get the Ford performance clutch fluid line?

Sorry if all these questions have already been asked.. briefly searched through the forum and couldn't find the answer to these questions. Thanks

I just replaced my clutch in my 08 . Along with the new Exedy clutch and flywheel , I replaced all my flywheel bolts with Ford Racing M-6379-B Manual Flywheel Bolts and bolted the pressure plate with ARP 156-2201 Pressure Plate Bolt Kit . I Also replaced the pilot bearing , replaced the hydraulic throwout bearing with a Centerforce 601825 and replaced the plastic line with a braided stainless line from AM. Don't forget loctite . I also soaked all my bolts in brake kleen to remove all the oils

BTW , I tried removing the old pilot bearing with a slide hammer tool .. Never budged .. So after watching a couple youtube videos , I tried bread and a 1/2" extension .. stuffed the bread in the hole and packed it with the extension . After about 2 slices , and a few good smacks , it started popping out ...

and if you replace the Clutch line ... Remove the 2 bolts from the a/c canister and move it out of the way .. Makes it alot easier to get to the retaining clip out .
