I'm the epitome of cheap, and I'd change the seals and bushing..  Even if you're doing a cheap job with just a disc just to get by... It's very surprising how little oil it take to make a new clutch slip...  :-\

Went with a full kit. Disc, pp, TO, end cap, release plate and clip. Also going to do both seals, and the push rod bushing. As well as a new rod. All in all about $200.

Not too shabby really. Worst part was wrestling the trans out! Lol

good luck,

I once pulled a huge favor and stopped by ON A ROAD TRIP to put a clutch in my older brothers toyota, never touched a toyota before, but it went ok, nothing like rushing a job you know next to nothing about, lol.

my cousin has a 94 chevy 1500 4.3 V6/5 spd manual..

i had never touched one before, but his clutch took a dump the night before we were supposed to go hunting for 2 weeks.. needless to say, we had the trans on the ground a couple hours after it went out, and we got a new clutch in the morning.. we were only about 6 hours behind schedule once we were all the way done, didnt even lose a whole day..

needless to say, i got a crash course in clutch jobs on a chevy pickup.. those needle pilot bearings are a BEOTCH to get out. especialy when you break the needles, and they HAVE to come out..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
