Do you have to replace the gasket each time?

yep ordered two.ah man that sucks. buy 2, have a spare on hand.
Hopefully I remember that for next time. thank youI needed to adjust mine after taking the clutch cover off. Adjusting the automatic clutch is very quick and easy, requires a 14mm wrench and screwdriver. Make sure you back the nut far enough off that when you spin the adjuster it doesn't thread itself tight during the adjustment.
I watched this video, but basically you loosen the nut, turn the adjuster clockwise until there's the slightest resistance, turn it counter-clockwise until there's the slightest resistance, then turn it back clockwise 1/8th turn, hold the adjuster in place with screwdriver while tightening the nut back down.
Also a tip for the case gaskets, if you put a thin coat of oil on the gasket and wipe it off before sealing the case, it will still hold its seal properly without leaking and the next time you take it apart the gasket is less likely to be stuck or tear when taking it apart. Makes them more reusable, or just eliminates clean-up scraping if you are going to replace them anyways.
great idea to do if possible. Might has well upgrade if you have go through all the trouble.I have read that its not a bad idea to upgrade the oil pump to a heavy duty model while you are doing this. Videos indicate not that hard of a job?

can't too much hp to move 30% more oil.I'd be interested to hear more about that. I think most of the high flow oil pumps have a negative impact on performance, so might not be worth it unless your engine needs it (e.g. if you have a big bore kit)
