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.' Scott www.turbovans.com

Walter, anyone doing a clutch job would do this that does it on a regular basis. Would not pay off to do otherwise. Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2007 18:48:33 -0500 From: Walter Houle <whoule@ECSCONTROLS.COM> Subject: Re: Clutch shutter, vibation, shaking - why?

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