Hmmmm, I was expecting personal trans conversion from OP- not link to a thread from '09 on another forum. We already have a pinned "how to" thread for this.

yeah but most of is post is without picture and some of his link don't work. i like his step by step with picture.

Really, do enlighten me as to your theory on that comment.

If the rivets hit, or there are high temp spots on the flywheel then yes it might be wise to resurface. But most times, there is no need, why? if there is no damage, it's unneeded. If there is any glazing, just take a scotch bright pad and go over the flywheel.

Ive never resurfaced and had no issues, nor have most of the mechanics that I have worked with or talked with over the years. UNLESS there is damage. These flywheels are massive and nearly never have any wear or damage to them.

it's not like a brake rotor that get's high spots in it due to stopping on extremely hot pads.

Anyone notice that 99% of the time that you inspect the flywheel that it doesn't have wear? atleast enough to actually see or feel any ridge from the clutch?

All the wear that I have had is on the clutch itself, not the flywheel. only if the rivets ended up coming through and damaged the flywheel.

Yes, this is true... if you're replacing the clutch with a 100% identical replacement. If you're not, it needs to be resurfaced or replaced, period. Not doing so is asking for it to fail, wear improperly and prematurely, and function incorrectly.

due to what? how would it wear incorrectly? grab differently and so forth? we are talking about a very small portion that will wear off any rust layer in no time.

Just my opinion that it wont matter once some use has but put onto the clutch. I believe resurfacing is only needed for damaged or overheated flywheels which can easily be determined case by case.
