A good thing to do when replacing or changing a clutch is to resurface the fly-wheel to prevent unnecessary wear and to help extend the life of the clutch.

@patrickarchibald6787 8 жыл бұрын
x808drifter my thinking exactly. When it's apart, you do that. The old buggered flywheel will cause the new clutch to wear prematurely, and will shudder. And usually you'd fit a lightened flywheel when you upgrade the engine.

+petej222 Yep, all serviceable items should be done when down there, bearings seals and fluids, and you should always machine the fly wheel when doing the clutch especially if you've been having problems with your old one.
