My clutch finally gave out today and I've been researching clutches and other parts I need, but wanted to know if I should get anything else. I need to know asap so I can get everything ordered.

Here's what I have so far...
-Fidanza 3.2 clutch (Comes with TO bearing and tool)
-Fidanza flywheel
-Clutch fork
-Clutch ball
-BG Syncro Shift 2


These are parts that I'm questioning about getting...
-Slave cylinder extension rod
-Stainless clutch line
-Flywheel bolts
-Clutch release boot
-Cluch release clip

I found most of these items here...http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/search.php?veh=2G+DSM&cat=756&type=Drivetrain
 
Looks like you got everything there. The only other thing I would change is the slave cylinder, and that is like $30. Good luck with that new clutch and hope it works out great for you.
 
If you are getting the Fidanza flywheel, you are going to NEED the longer flywheel bolts. Also, a ss line is a good investment as is a new slave cylinder. A extension rod is not needed and is just a bandaid. As far as the boot, check to see if yours is ripped before you order.
 
Thanks alot guys. I ordered everything on the list except the extension rod and the boot.
 
-Slave cylinder extension rod - Drop that...

Get...
- Pressure plate bolts
- Rear Main Oil seal
- Master Cyl
- Slave Cyl
- Throwout bearing (OEM Mitsubishi NOT the Fidanza one)
- Throwout bearing Clip
- There are 2 oil seals that are in the tranny/x-case that the axles go into, I can't remember what they are called....

Ok, why would I need new pressure plate bolts and why should I use an OEM TO bearing??
 
because...there are a few OEM parts that are just better....that one being one of them (and the timing belt :thumb: )

[After-market timing belts have proven to be just fine.]
 
Could I use the old one or do I need a new one because I just ordered everything and I don't want to have to go through everything all over again.
 
Many non-OEM Throw Out Bearings (TOBs) have been known to fail, some have good luck with them and some don't. I threw my ACT TOB in the trash and put an OEM Mitsubishi one. As for using the old one - do you really want to take your tranny out again to replace a $25 part?

As for pressure plate (PP) bolts, if you are buying all those new parts, you might as well make sure everything is new which is why I suggested the 2 axle seals. Try your local Mitsubishi dealer for PP bolts and OEM TOB, many of them have it in stock.

I basically gave you a list of everything I replaced when I did my clutch install a few months ago.
