flywheel

[kidcrossover69]

When you replace your clutch, is it
necessary to resurface the flywheel?

well considering its only 45 dollars at most machine shops to resurface, why not? It may not be necessary but you may run into problems later on if it isnt done.

oh ok, but whats the whole point of resurfacing the flywheel
when all there doing is making it thinner and weaker. is that true?

Thats not what there doing and if your flywheel was not thick enough for a resurface they wouldn;t do it, theres a minimum spec for thickness, and the purpuse of resurfacing is to get rid of and hot spots and even surface areas so that you new clutch will work at 100% but if its in good shape a quik hit with an 3m fine/medium wheel so do the trick

also make sure that is your flywheel calls for a step that they do it and not just cut it flat.

thanxs a lot man, because ive been going back and fort on other peoples
opinions like my dad i should say cause he knows eveyrthing and tells me its not necessary unless u want it to get thinner and what i know is that it should be done when you replace
the clutch, so i will be resurfacing it.

He meant to say "...make sure that if your flywheel calls for a step that they do it and not just cut it flat."

A step would basically be a "ledge" where part of the flywheel surface is higher than the rest.

I would recommend getting the flywheel resurfaced, or at least scuffed up (by hand) so your new clutch has a "grippier" surface to grab.

Kind of like sanding your car before painting it, so your paint can properly adhere to it.

If your flywheel is silky smooth, you may have difficulty with your clutch slipping and breaking it in properly.

i got you, so basically i have to let the guy thats going resurface my flywheel to do a step and how much do you think they range from to resurface, or is it better to scuff it with sandpaper like you say?
