unless you thoroughly abused the clutch, you wont need a new pressure plate, and you shouldnt need to do anything to the current one either. i would inspect it to be sure, but otherwise i would just install the new disc and trans.

Once you see the flywheel, you should know what if anything needs to be done. If it's really in great shape; leave it alone. If it's worn a bit with light hot spots; you can hit it with an abrasive \ roloc disc. If it has allot of hot spots and light fracturing; get it machined IMHO....
