when you pull it apart you can decide if you want another flywheel; ive dont think ive ever had to replace one; but you can price a new1 or find used 1s. or take to shop and get it resurfaced

:mrgreen: what fun! :!: i like your list; the flange is like the opposite side, seal carrier/flange; only this side is bigger, has seal in it, and has a gasket, +new oil pan gasket. i use new nut/bolts and stuff here; 1 thing i found about a lot of gaskets, the paper type after a few hours you have ...

call back the co you bought clutch from and ask if new bolts are included, if not get a new set,,rear seal set, when installing rear seal grease seal(inner lips), you can use permatex or rtv for seal (outter), new flange gasket, i get new hardware nuts/bolts/washers; there are grease points for asse...

keep on preaching your favorite subject; clear fuel lines

if i have injection lines off i get quite a squirt going across engine bay, at the injectors they start making a wet mess pretty quick

when i crack my inj lines i get a good little squirt each time, you notice it-

speedo cable on a used trans can be cut, make sure you get one thats good

im not up on your other goings on, but; a good amount of fuel comes out when you do this, did fuel drain out and you have air in there now?

5-speeds right? you need the speedo cable still working @full length. you can think of finding a different geared 5-speed, i think it may be to 20-a or something, someone else can give you that info. the stock 5speeds for my mk2's are 55mph trans'. so while you have the chance to look into different...
