Got another question..
I was asked to check if I might possibly need to replace the hydraulic (clutch) slave cylinder as well? Has anyone had to replace this yet. My mechanic thought it would be a good idea to put a new one in since we will have the transmission out. thx

Better to swap it while you're doing the clutch and save yourself the possible headache of it going out anytime soon.

First off if you get a 'quality' aftermarket clutch it come with a release bearing/slave assy.If you dont change it when the trans is out yep...your nuts!...also do all the other 'little things' like syncros etc,

Well this is gonna cost me more than I expected. Not to worry though, it will be done correctly and the money will be spent..  I just finished a wheel bearing job this Friday and I found out that I spun a bearing because the original bearing siezed up on me. So I got to buy a new hub (Ford - $180). This is starting to get fun..  However, I did get my new B&M short throw shifter in the mail on Friday and I installed it yesterday. What a huge improvement. I love that thing. It makes shifting so much easier and accurate. I definitely recommend one.
