Clutch question...need quick response please

[spshocker61]

Does a 2G AWD clutch match a 2G FWD clutch?

And

Will i have trouble matting a new clutch to a RESURFACED flywheel? (i know you cant just put a new clutch on an old flyweel b/c of the wear that is on it)

Thanx a lot guys,

Nate

i can't really answer your first question but when i got my clutch i remember that the AWD had the exact part number as the FWD one except it had a dash 1 after the part number so i would assume that there is some difference. No you should not have problems putting the new clutch in. Just make sure you use a clutch tool to align the pressure plate and clutch disc and when bolting the clutch down that you go in a star pattern and only do a few threads at a time.

As far as the second question...what i meant is will it be hard on the clutch to mate it to a resurfaced flywheel as opposed to a new one? I have heard that if you put a brand new clutch in a tranny with an old flywheel that it will tend to drasticly decrease the life of your clutch because the flywheel is worn and the clutch is new. So im wondering if by resurfacing the flywheel, will i solve that problem?

Thanx again,

yes resurfacing your flywheel essentially makes the contact surface new so that you will have no problems with the clutch. However, i just went through this and the people that resurfaced my flywheel messed it up real bad. So bad that it was to the point that the clutch would not disengage when the fork was bottoming out on the tranny. Had them do it again and it solved the prob.

As long as the flywheel is in spec it won't prematurely wear the clutch, but if your flywheel is out of spec (even a little bit) the clutch might only last 5K miles! Sometimes people underestimate the importance of resurfacing the flywheel. Also if the flywheel has been resurfaced too many times it will need replacing, but the shop that resurfaces it should be able to tell you if your flywheel is okay.

So basicly what that is saying is that a FWD clutch is different then an Awd....right?
