Replaced the stock clutch at 99,093 miles (driven over six years), with a Competition Clutch Stage 2 kit and new OEM flywheel on June 1st. The Stage 2 was pretty juddery at first but it has broken in very nicely now over 600 miles. The car still has the stock clutch lines and the slave cylinder restrictor pill, but those will be taken care of soon.

I would like to resurface the original flywheel to use it for the next clutch replacement. How does the flywheel look for having this much mileage on it? Of course there are some hotspots, but I don't think they appear too bad, and there are no cracks.

This is the first manual and AWD car I've owned. Had an autotragic Maxima SE before I bought my Evo IX MR new in June '06. The car remained stock, besides brake pads, until around 60K when I added a Works drop-in filter... adventurous, I know (does that even count?). I didn't severely launch very often or excessively slip it except for a handful of times.

 

That's quite a good amount of hot spots. A resurface will take all of that out though. I'd price a new flywheel vs cost of a resurface for ****s and giggles.

 

I most certainly would have had that flywheel cut and the proper spacer added.

 

Are you the original owner of the car?

 

Yes, I bought the car new six years ago. I've put all the miles except about 15 on it.

I wanted the original flywheel resurfaced, but the dealer that installed the clutch was not able to do it themselves, and there would have been a delay in finding a shop to do it.

A new OEM flywheel is just over $400, significantly more than a flywheel resurface that should be under $100. The OEM flywheel is a good one and I didn't need or want to go with an aftermarket market flywheel.

 

U did great for having your first manual car, with an oem clutch in a very sporty car for 100k miles, good job.

 

Thats great man!!

 

If you still need a OEM flywheel that has been resurfaced. PM me.
