I'm getting ready to replace my clutch and as long as I have the car disabled and apart I might as well do some preventive maintenance.

Talked to Randy and he has given me some suggestions and picked up a few from posts and archives.


Besides belt tensioners, hoses, rear engine seal. What else do I just need to go ahead and replace to avoid future headaches.

While replacing the clutch should I also replace master and slave cylinders?

If I disconnect the battery what am I facing as far as reprogramming stuff?

What is the best place for one stop shopping for ordering parts.

Good luck with the work as far as I'm aware if you disconnect the batteries then all that needs attention is the radio with the code, also don't forget to keep a window down as the window wont drop when the batteries are not connected.
