Clutch & Flywheel question?

[markf671]

After blowing my trans, i had it rebuilt and got a new t-case. the clutch is glazed so I'll replace that when i got $, My question is do I need to replace the flywheel to if it has hot spots all over it? Or can I just get it resurfaced? keep in mind it was a brand new clutch & flywheel before I blew it.

Thanks, Mark

You can get it checked and resurfaced if there are no deep cracks. Make sure they set the step height correctly if you have it resurfaced.

RRE has some good info on flywheel resurfacing.

You could resurface it, it's supposed to have a .610 step. IF there aren't any deep cracks and the clutch disk is on it's way out why not replace the clutch and resurface the flywheel while you have the transmission off? Do it now so you don't have to do it later. Also is it a stock clutch and flywheel? If so autozone has a complete kit for under a $100 so you might as well do that atleast.

He said he will be replacing the clutch, and is asking if he can resurface the flywheel...which I already answered.

Also is it a stock clutch and flywheel? If so autozone has a complete kit for under a $100 so you might as well do that atleast.

I wouldn't run an Autozone clutch kit on a 70hp POS daily beater, much less a DSM.

Lol! thanks a lot guys... It was a f-1 stage 2 clutch with the 8lb flywheel... I got it on Ebay. 1 more question if you dont mind. Can I buy and use one of those Autozone stock clutch kits, If I have some upgrades done to my car?

550's injectors, 255 wally, 16g turbo, that's about it..

16g turbo

unless you love the smell of burnt clutch i would get something good to 350-400hp to be safe

 

[bryanwheat]

What do you have those 550's tuned with?

 

[markf671]

Copy that thanks! I will just save for another performance clutch... Any suggestions that are good and affordable? I got a wide band and safc 2 to tune... I finally figured out how to tune with them.. No real serious tuning.

 

[3kgt2nv]

act has good reviews.

and some tuning is better than none

Sounds good... Thanks Bro! That's true I had it tuned the beginning of last year... No I just do it myself...
