I’m looking for a write up on how to replace the clutch and if there is anything else I need to do. I have replaced other clutch’s before, but not sure of the full process on these cars. The car currently has 226k so I was wondering what else I should replace while I’m there. I’m kinda thinking rear main, oil separator plate reseal, pilot, throw out, flywheel, obviously the clutch. What parts would you recommend for slightly better than stock? Is there anything else I should replace while I’m there? I see around where some people pull the engine, and some pull the transmission. What are torque specs and where could I find them? What is the estimated time in the full process. Also would like to know what tricks can be useful. Thanks again.

You should mention what the exact vehicle is, since there were some changes to the clutch release mechanism over the years.

Your list sounds pretty good. You could get a new flywheel, have yours resurfaced, or just run it, depending on what it looks like. Your clutch kit should come with a new pressure plate, unless you're being extremely cheap. Always replace the pilot bearing (assuming it even still looks like a bearing - many have long since failed on older vehicles) and throwout bearing; both should be included with your kit.

You should be able to get torque specs from https://charm.li/ , or look for a pdf manual for your vehicle.

For better than stock, I've been extremely happy with my Spec Stage 1 clutch. Stage 1 is just a higher clamp pressure plate and a slightly grippier disc, nothing aggressive like the higher numbered stages. South Bend Clutch is a bunch of incompetent crooks, so avoid them when shopping for upgraded parts. (See, companies, you rip people off, and then they make sure to point out you suck in every single relevant discussion)

A time estimate depends on your skill level and tools. If you have a lift, tranny jack, and a decade of experience, it's a 1-2 hour job. If you have a pair of ramps, a driveway, and a harbor freight starter tool set, plan on a weekend project. Pulling the transmission is easier than pulling the engine, especially if you don't have a fully equipped shop.

For tricks, for a beginner, I'd say to make sure your disc is extremely perfectly centered, both by using the alignment tool provided with the clutch kit and by visually double-checking after torquing the pressure plate, and then be very careful mating the transmission back to the engine, making sure to exactly match the tilt angle of engine and transmission, then spinning either the engine or transmission until the splines engage and the pilot slips in.
