Clutch Prep
I've got a GMPP clutch that's about to go in my car. Just wondering if it is safe to spray down the clutch disc with chlorinated brake cleaner? Anything else I should do to prep the clutch before it goes in?
Also, I didn't bother ordering a new clutch pipe. Shouldn't be an issue to reuse it right?

Don't spray the disk with anything, only clean the oils from the pressure plate and flywheel friction surfaces. As to not replacing the clutch pipe, I'd have to agree with Nova, but that's on you. I would personally recommend replacing it, cause if it leaks the entire assembly is coming right back out. Not something I would enjoy doing again if it was preventable.

I will go get a new clutch pipe then.
My clutch disc was touching the pressure plate in the packaging. Now I am concerned about the rust inhibitor oil on the disc which is why I want to spray it with some brake cleaner. Just worried that the brake cleaner might damage the clutch material. Thoguhts?
