Personally I would do the Pivot bush (as previously someone reported a worn pivot bush which resulted in difficulty changing to lower gears when the car was getting hot in traffic) and for the cost of £1.50 its not gona hurt the pocket.

Although, the same problems/symptoms have had different remedies - such as pressure plate and clutch cable.

You are getting the compelte clutch kit are you not?

I would change the rear main oil seal while you was there.

As Chris said! maybe consider the soft pedal conversion if your going for an uprated clutch, Also Check that the 3 bolts that holds the n/s driveshaft gaitor in have good clean threads, if they strip when you have got the box back in then someone will be annoyed

going for a standard clutch, its always been fine

wot parts are needed to do a soft pedal conversion? and is it easy to do?

You need a Megane/Laguna/Volvo clutch release arm and the extender bracket for the cable to sit higher on, some say you need a longer clutch cable but mine has been fine, i have a couple spare extender brackets here thinking about it
