before i pulled the tuna off the road i blew my rear cam seal, and all of the oil that was in the motor basically drained into the timing light slot ontop of the tranny.

since the oil drained into there, and the clutch was brand new i asked a couple people and they recommended that i pull the tranny off, get a new disc (which i have) and spray the piss out of the flywheel and clutch.

anything else i should do while im in there? clean the inside of the tranny with anything special? i put like 300 miles on the clutch untill i blew the seal. which didnt make me happy... i know that the disc is organic and the oil just destroys it.

Might want to get the flywheel turned and put a light non-directional finish on the pressure plate with a sandpaper disk on an air grinder

Might as well change the transmission's input shaft seal while you're at it. Cost you $8 in part.

I didn't changed it while I put a used tranny in my car, and guess what, a week later, I was pulling out the same tranny again. :(
