I'm in the middle of doing a 5speed swap to my s13. Anyone have any suggestions on what things I might as well change before it's in the car, to save my self headaches in the future?

Rear main seal, clutch fork pivot ball (where your clutch fork rests) and reinforce your clutch fork which will help from bending due to mad clutch kicks.

Pilot bushing. Rear main seal. Check the clutch and flywheel for wear or heat marks. Throw out bearing. Rebuild the trans.

also, delete the damper box on the clutch hydraulic line, replace the factory line with a stainless braided line, and get a new master and slave at the same time

replace driveshaft with a 1pc

replace trans mount with an aftermarket one

whoa, I had no idea other cars had these 'lovely' dampers. I deleted mine on my IS earlier this year.

replace your rear trans seal, and replace the front trans seal and gasket also. get a cheap daikan clutch slave off enjuku or fr sport

Yea get rid of the clutch dampener. After awhile you won't notice the difference in pedal feel. Also it will save you headaches from clutch bleeding.
