Valve spring recall - other parts to replace?

I've had my '13 since new, it runs great, but the throwout bearing is staring to make noise and I have an oil leak from the timing chain cover. I figured now would be a good time to get the valve spring recall performed so I can address those issues as well as some get some maintenance done and bundle it in with the labor of the recall. I am looking for advice on any other maintenance items to include. Car has about 75k.
  • Valve spring recall
  • Fix timing cover leak
  • New clutch (clutch is fine, but might as well) and throwout bearing. Should I replace the flywheel too?
  • Spark plugs (still on original set)
  • New coolant
  • Engine mounts, transmission mount

Any advice would be appreciated!

Probably yes on the flywheel. Rock Auto had the best price on Exedy OEM replacements.
Replace the clutch fork and pivot while you have it apart.

If you haven't had a problem with the springs at 75k, you might want to leave them alone.

IMHO motor and transmission mounts are fine unless you want something stiffer.

My throw out started going bad last fall.
I wouldn't have gone specifically for the valve springs at 90k, but my knee was f'd at that point and I couldn't hork things around effectively.

It's a motor out job, so I took it in and had them do the clutch at the same time.
Seem to have got lucky with them sealing things up OK, other than the dip-stick tube in the timing cover.
That's seeping a bit, but only collecting a little dust right now rather than dripping.

Also got an A/C refresh along with the coolant.
Still an expensive operation if you have the dealer doing anything in addition.

Buyer beware. I ordered a clutch kit EXEDY PN: FJK1005 from RockAuto. It came in an unopened box but it had a 9 1/2" disc instead of a 9".

Man I buy almost everything from RockAuto and I've never had an issue. Did they handle it for you?
