durring a clutch install is it mandatory to resurface or replace the flywheel? My clutch was slipping and I ordered a new clutch kit but now it does not even grab so I have to replace the clutch quickly and won't have time to resurface because I need a car to get to work. Will I have problems and what would they consist of? not proper matting the disc to flywheel and possible continue slipping??

 

I'm installing the clutch around 3 or 4 today so any help would be appreciated, sooner the better too Thanks

 

Replace the flywheel. Its so thin that some dont recommend resurfacing it. I paid 1000 for my clutch install. They didn't replace the flywheel and now it jerks everytime I take off. BTW the 1000 did not include the clutch. Expensive mistake.

 

holy **** you paid $1000 for labor on a clutch install?

$500-$600 tops for labor.

op... buy a new flywheel for your new clutch

 

can't now just started hopefully it last a while or untill next season

 

asdfasdf

 

edit* nvm

 

You should be fine, I have a friend that is on his 3rd clutch and still the OEM flywheel

 

so any body else have an idea. im tight on money. i just got out of the air force and am light on funds

 

It should be fine unless the flywheel has hot spots in it from where you say it was slipping before. Little late to post this..lol

 

ok thanks. i hope its not to bad.

 

resurfacing is only really required when you have hot spots. if you do then dont skip that step

 

I always resurface mine...(or buy new).

hahaha... I Just saw the original post date 2007 - I wonder how it went?

 

who knows hope it went well, having to do a second clutch job back to back from problems could be a costly mistake

 

cant believe someone charged the guy 1000 for labor that's insane !!! But like the guy above said check for hot spots im on my 3rd act street disc and flywheel is still good
