replacing flywheel quesion

Post by Twizted-Vibe »

I am about to replace my cluch tonight but never got the flywheel. it was skipped on my order. Do I HAVE to get my flywheel resurfaced, or would it be okay to leave the flywheel on and just replace the clutch. i was told you dont have to mess with the flywheel as long as theres no grooves or damage

I was looking at those f1 clutches as well. For sure let me know how it is, i gotta buy SOON. I'm probably just going to find a shop to install it for me, I read the How-to and I don't think that I could do it myself. Just gotta find a shop that'll install the parts I provide...

From what I've read, you should always use new flywheel bolts if you take it off.If you go through the trouble of removing the clutch you may as well get the flywheel resurfaced, as chances are there is some wear

i just got it in and the f1 stg 2 clutch catches great. clutch grabs the second you let off the pedal. pedal seems alot less stiff and grabs as soon as it comes off the floor.
