I'm just about at the same point-I'm ready to reinstall my flywheel/pressure plate & then grind down my input shaft & bearing retainer on the T5. (By the way, thanks to this site for the play doh removal tip for the pilot bearing). Questions:
1) should I lubricate the input shaft splines?
2) Is there a place to lube the clutch pedal pivot?
3) Do auto parts stores carry the fork retainer clip for the ball stud?

Thanks in advance
