You dont need to do anything when replacing the clutch but some Tranzmax Z will help extend its life and make it a bit smoother.

The T5 that is in the XR6T is the strongest T5 built for factory and I can not see the sense in throwing good money after bad building up a Transmission with expensive aftermarket components when the T56 cures all your problems.
