Well everything in the kit as for parts should be included and should have an alignment tool.

You do not NEED a new flywheel but if it's warped should be resurfaced/machined it's a good habit to get into but since u already have everything apart NOW is a good time for a lightweight flywheel yes it's gonna cost more than just a resurface but better for performance.
