Pulled the trans for an oil seal replacement, and my clutch disc is down to the rivets on the pressure plate side. I thew in an old disc to keep me going (daily driver).

My question is, can I reuse the flywheel I have, or does it need to be resurfaced or replaced? How can I tell if the flywheel is OK to use as it is?

Seems like the Pelican and AA kits can include flywheels, but that adds a bit to the cost. Just trying to figure out what the hit to the budget is going to be.

Thanks

You should at least resurface it to keep it from grabbing and smooth operation. Keep in mind these are 30+ year old flywheels and most likely have been machined before. I do not know the specs but you would have to spec it after machining. It better and cheaper in the long run to do it right than do it twice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
