1-IMS Bearing; LN the only game in town?

2 Clutch (assuming worn 20% or more) what Brand for durability, casual use? Semi Performance?

3 Pressure plate; (why if there is no scoring/wear? Springs or something?) If good reason, brands?

4 Clutch release/throw-out bearing: (mine is shot) Sachs, INA, ??

5 Pilot bearing (is there one?) brand??

6 Gear oil; Symco(?) or….

7 Rear motor mounts?

Again, I’m not racing (but do hoarse around). Performance parts O.K. if not a big premium $$ (may autocross some day though). Just want to get it back on the road for the next 40k mi. (10 yrs.) without paying through the as_ for inferior parts

PK,
I recommend you go with an IMS bearing brand that has some history.. Don't go cheap here.
Yes there is a pilot bearing, if you buy a new flywheel (I recommend) it should come with one.
My transmission mounts (rear motor mounts) were fine after 210,000 miles, you should not have a problem here. Have you replaced the front motor mount? Something to consider.

Thanks guys,

It appears Pelican Parts is just selling is the LN IMS retrofit. I guess if they were doing some some combo deal that you’ all signed off on, based on my criteria, I’d go for it. Otherwise..
