Other than the clutch kit....what else is needed to put a stock clutch on my 97 civic cx 1.6 nonvtec.....oils, grease, etc.? (Exclude tools)

new trans fluid, rtv

Torque wrench, jackstands and basic hand tools. The hardest part is lining the damn tranny back up when putting everything back together. Not a tough job at all though.

what size weight (trans fluid)

A friend to help you get the tranny back on and hold some **** when you are taking **** apart and putting it back together.

Blue loctite for the flywheel bolts. And some anti-wear grease on the clutch fork and pressure plate and throwout bearing.

a friend or a engine hoist to put the tranny back in. that is the hardest part.

i just installed my clutch, i did it on my own, took me about 4 hours with the help of an engine hoist. hardest part, putting tranny back in. i messed up by using impact to shoot in the pressure plate bolts. you should use a torque wrench. i was too lazy to redo it so i just left it like that. you need to get some grease and grease the shift folk *****(2), and the input shaft of the tranny. i changed my clutch without having to change my tranny fluid. only a few drops fell out and it was fine. make sure you break it in properly after though. good luck.

no fluid ran out the axle hole

if you're asking me the question, no. it came out a bit when the tranny was leaning to one side. i check tranny fluid afterwards. everything is fine.
