As long as it didnt crack when you took it off, it should be fine. I have reused them before and had to replace them. They are pretty brittle.

 

As long as you are careful taking the cover off and the gasket remains intact you can use it again. I did the last clutch replacement on my '02 and reused the gasket with no problems.

Doesn't hurt to have a spare on hand just in case though.

 

I used mine over many times with no problems.

well i found a shop that had one in stock so i just ran out and got it. so now im all set to put my plates in there, i just hope to god i have the right sized springs, the guy from the shop called me up and said he saw there was an 06 clutch kit and an 04-05 so hes not sure if their hte same size springs, so i dunno if hes telln me he sold me the wrong one or wut, but i got an 06. ill b piiiiiiisssed if i have to use stock springs after buying a frickn clutch kit.
