Pilot bearing, throwout bearing, clutch disk.

Pressure plate and flywheel... depends on their condition I suppose.

flywheel??

i just went to a dealer, and they are just telling me i should replace eveything that you^ just told me... they haven't look through my car yet.

should i let them inspect them first before i purchase those parts and replace??

could i reinstall those parts if they are reusable(except clutch disk)??

thanks
Andy

You don't want to reuse the two bearings; they're wear and tear items.

Generally, resurfacing the flywheel isn't recommended, and given that you're going through your clutch rather quickly, I'd lean toward replacing it, as you may have some heat spotting on it.

The pressure plate should be okay unless your clutch is COMPLETELY shot and you've been driving on it.
