Going to replace the clutch on a 2000 Maxima w/ 114000miles. What else should be done while the tranny is out? Should I resurface the flywheel even if it looks ok? Slave cylinder? It's a daily driver for a poor college kid.

I'd resurface the flywheel. Clutch master and slave cylinders might be prudent, but IIRC most people get 150k+ out of them.

Nissan has a "Key Value" clutch kit that has everything you need for the clutch (plate, disc, pilot bushing, release bearing , alignment tool). Flywheel resurfacing based on inspection. Rear main seal, if it's leaking.

i would def. do the rear main at that mileage. Its a cheap part and doesnt take long, and you dont want it leakin 10,000 miles after you just put your clutch in.

Stay away from Nissan's Key Value line crap. However, Nissan does have a clutch seal ki tor something.

Rear main seal. just like everyone else is saying.

Oh yeah, do the throw-out bearing too. Cheap to do while it's in there.
