Also, add the engine's rear main seal replacement as a must (one of the second pic) when doing the clutch install. Also, wanted to further bump this thread with pics of replaced parts (don't mean to threadjack):

Bought mine from Exedy (way cheaper than Toyota branded part and it is basically the same part) and had it balanced at machine shop. Mine had a tiny amount of weight removed although it was new. Also, it is extra insurance as "some" mechanics just leave the old component as is (maybe clean surface), not even resurfacing or balancing it.

Refer to first pic of my car's previous components after 150k miles of mostly granny shifting and highway driving:
- input shaft sleeve, where the throw-out bearing rides (first pic)
- throw-out bearing (TOB), initially replaced under warranty prior to 60k miles (third pic), which was BTW stuck (wouldn't rotate)
