Default Clutch Install = MTF Change?

If I'm changing my clutch and flywheel am I going to have to or should I change my manual transmission fluid? Please Get Back To Me ASAP.

Your pulling the tranny apart, so change the MTF also.

You need to empty the fluid to pull the axles to remove the tranny.
Change the Fluid.

I just changed my tranny fluid less than 8K miles ago. Can I reuse that or should I put fresh in?

Re-use it?

You've already spent X amount of dollars for the new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, maybe even getting a new flywheel and you're not gonna get 2 quarts of MTF?

Well, we ran out of time. We got to the point where you have to pull the driveshafts off, ran into a problem, talked to a mechanic, and then decided we didn't have time and put it back together. So:

Failure:
Installing Clutch
Installing Flywheel
Installing JDM ITR Rear Sway Bar

Success:
Installing Fluidyne Radiator
Changing MTF
