Tell me what yall think about the oe exedy clutch in our cars...
Should I go oe when I replace it or go more heavy duty?
I'll prob just run a tuner with basic bolt ons while I own this car since I'm not looking for power just a good spirited DD.
I drive a lot so I want the best I can get for durability.

And I'm curious as to what the recommended parts are, I know clutch, pp, throwout... Do I need a slave cylidinder too?

And when I do get in there should I get my flywheel resurfaced?

To me... Pulling this tranny doesn't look hard at all, granted the suspension/cv axles come out alright. Please advise me if I'm wrong (or if there's anything special req'd)

I know there's guides so I can look around I just want to buy my parts first and plan out what days I'm Taking off work to do it.

I know that's a lot of questions but I'm really ocd with my car and its got to be perfect (in my eyes) or else everything makes me second guess... I think a lot of people can agree though
 
I had an exedy stage 1 and 2 and loved them both no problems. New throwout and pilot bearing new axle seals x2... nothing tricky except its a little easier squeezing the tranny back in if you unbolt the passengerside hub and endlink from the strut and the halfshaft mount to back the passengerside axle out of the way to not damage the seals.

...usually unless the clutch was chattering and worn badly the flywheel should be fine. You would feel a lumpy pedalupon engagement.

Well that's the thing, it chatters on and off. But if I slip the clutch at all for more then 1.5,2 seconds it chatters enough to make me want a new clutch haha!

As for the LSD, do you think I should tend to that now seeing how the car has 76k with almost all original parts. If I could find a 500-600 dollar option I would jump on that!

BTW my factory clutch line is seeping a little so that could also be another factor...

And lastly how high does the car need to be to allow the tranny to slid out? (Rough guess will suffice lol)
