'87 Clutch replacment
So my Luk flywheel and clutch are supposed to arrive tomorrow and I am gearing up to do the install.
But first I have a couple of questions.
One, how best to drain and fill the 4 speed tranny while it's out.
Two, what if any thing should I put some lock tight on.
What if any should I put assamble lube, or bearing grease on.
Three, should I try and track down a new gasket to go between the transmision adaptor and the transfercase, or should I just use the old beat up on. I don't even really understand what it does.
Four, is there anything that I might be missing.
Thanks for all the advice I want to do this right once.

You should drain the tranny before taking it out....then re-fill it once it's back under the truck.
You should put locktite on the flywheel and pressure plate bolts.
Bearing grease on the pilot bearing, input shaft (inspect it for nicks/damage!), and TO bearing. Don't need a boatload but a nice coating.
You can just use silicone or silicone and the old gasket if you want.
Think you've got it covered....good luck!

2: Flywheel bolts and pressure plate bolts. You are getting the flywheel resurfaced..right?
Most of the pilot bearings come pre-greased and it's recommended not to add any to them. A very light coat on the input shaft if any, you don't want to contaminate the clutch disc with any being thrown off. Just a touch on the points where the fork touches the throwout bearing.
3: If you can't find a replacement Permatex Ultra Black should work good.
4: Get some help...Those transmissions are heavy.
