Don...
Usually, to the average owner, having to
pull a perfectly good motor to replace
a malfunctioning clutch is a PITA. Unless
you are a "Clarici", it is s time consuming
and/or labor/money consuming.
Unless your clutch parts are basically
new, I suggest you replace ALL while
you are "in there" as considering the
foregoing, clutch parts are cheap. Nothing
like replacing a disc today, and having to
go through the whole process again to
replace a pressure plate or worn T/O
bearing 6 mos down the road.
Of course, if there is contamination within
the bell housing, clutch slip now becomes
a symptom rather than a cause.
You might pass on resurfacing the flywheel and/or replacing the ring
gear...
just have to see what they look like once
you get in there.
You might also consider upgrading (if you
haven't already) to a "roller" T/O bearing.
Just my .02! :)
