Hi,
If you strongly feel that the flywheel should be resurfaced every clutch
job, then that's what you should do.
I want group members and at-home vanagon technicians to know that a super
fine clutch job can be done without having to *always* resurface the
flywheel. Just so they know that's a viable option sometimes too.
As for what 'mechanics like to do' ...you might know that I am a full time
professional vanagon repair and engine conversion specialist, and foreign
car technician, with around 35 years experience. Actually ....let's
see.......43 years on cars, and 15 years before that on bicycles and other
things. I worked on my tricycle, modifying it even, before I went to
kindergarten. And nobody showed me how to do that either, I just 'already
knew' how to.

Scott,
Machine shops will resurface as little as
possible. Mechanics tend to do work so they only do
it once. I would choose to always resurface and
check out the pilot bearing if you have over 80k since
the last clutch job. It is a pain to redo a bad
clutch job. Call it a matter of cost-risk. gary

I'm not precisely sure what the poster is saying
here. If he's saying
to
always surface the flywheel every clutch job....I'd
like to offer that
that's not always best. Like resurface them when they
really need it,
sure.
But not just automatically every clutch job. Machine
shops can even
screw
up a resurfacing job. So if it's good, and not really
needing a
resurfacing, clean it up, give it a good psychic
healing, and put it
back
into service.
I've taken many parts to machine shops for
inspection......in general
it
seems to me they are usually very inclined, like
doctors with drugs and
surgery, to recommend their machine work services be
done to the part,
but
if the surface is nice, and the run-out within
spec.....I'd leave it
un-resurfaced. So 'it depends.'

Walter,
anyone doing a clutch job would do this that
does it on a regular basis. Would not pay off to do
otherwise.

I always assumed that VW resurfaced the flywheel as
part of their
factory
rebuild process. Does anyone know if they did?
