Another clutch question.
Before I put the T56 in the Monte I have only owned one vehicle with a stick. That was an 89 S10. When replacing the clutch in it I simply went to Autozone & bought a replacement one. According to desktop dyno I will have close to 400 hp with the LT1 in front of the T56. There is not a lot of miles on the clutch, but thought I should replace it anyway. (Do I need to / should I) replace the pressure plate as well? How can I tell. What about the throwout bearing?
Thanks,
Scot

Its really hard to tell for the regular enthusiast if the pressure plate is bad or not. I would look for cracking and discoloration on the friction surface. If there aren't a lot of miles on the clutch, its most likely OK. I would get a new disk and new TOB.
