• Retaining Spring for Clutch Release Lever
• Ball Pin for Clutch Release Lever
• Flywheel

• Flywheel Seal
• Transmission Mainshaft Seal

It depends on many factors incl.; How thorough you want to do the job, What is your budget, what is your level of interest in the car... keep it forever? Sell it after a couple years?, etc.

There isn't a part on their list that that shouldn't be there as far as I can see. Will your car grenade if you don't do them all? Probably not, but they will make the clutch feel 'as new' as opposed to just a new clutch.

It's your car and your money. Do as many or as few as you deem necessary.

Cheers!
