I know that it is standard to resurface a flywheel when doing a clutch job. I have never heard of resurfacing a pressure plate though. Is there ever a reason to resurface them? Does it have to do with them being spring loaded?

i have always replaced pressure plate and friction discs as a unit. The "fingers" on the pressure plate wear at the point that the throw out bearing presses., and considering the labor to replace a bad clucth, never thought it was economical to only replace the t=friction disc, unless you have a new clutch, that mneeds replacing for say a main seal leak that oil soaked the friction material on a low miles unit.
I always scuff up the flywheel, and new pressure plate a bit, as other poster mentioned. Be sure before install to remove any preservative coating or greases with a thinner wipe down. |
