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)
