i would clean it before sticking it in, clean parts is happy parts

 

What, it's not like it's going in this weekend..

Remember as well if you plan to reuse the clutch always replace the throwout bearing regardless,it is easy to inspect a pressure plate and clutch disk for its potential lifespan however its not worth the grief of having to pull the trans again for a throwout race.

Also a good time to make sure the rear main seal is good to go as well.

It doesnt matter what you do to any Subie as long as you keep it rockin on that is what really matters in the end.

hmm i dont remember there being a clutch on the trans we pulled, but yea to the throw out bearing, since your already there any way and closer with out a clutch

 

is there going to be a difference in clutch size between the trans he has and the one thats going in?

I think GD said the clutch is the same between the 4WD and FWD ea81 trans. The clutch in the BRAT is already brand new, so I was just planning on reusing it.
