Exclamation New Clutch install this weekend

Hey, just making sure I have everything I need. I am installing a SPEC 3 with a new stock flywheel. Do I need to use the shim? I have the green gasket one. Also got the new slave, but still deciding on doing the drill mod or not. Don't have access to the vac pump to do the bleed of the line if I do the drill mod, so not looking forward to trying to get it clean. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I am doing this in my garage on jack stands, so any suggestions as far a making this easier will be most appreciated as well. Later all!

Replace your bearings throwout and the pilot. Yes use the shim. According to most the drill mod is a must for it to last. Rent or buy a vacum pump at local Autozone or equevelent. they are cheap @$30 and free to rent at Autozone. Take your time I like to put ramps under the rear tires and jack stands in the front for more clearance. Get a friend to help pull the trans and reinstall it. The rest of it will go good by yourself if you have to.
