What do with flywheel ?

[Maxspeed04svt]

Im in the process of a clutch install, now that it's all apart the clutch and flywheel is much worse shape then I expected .

I'm not sure what to do with the flywheel, some say resurfacing is ok some say no way, but some of the threads are old .

What's the verdict on this ? Does it have to be resurfaced a special way ?


Back in the day I've always gotten away with just cleaning up the flywheel myself with a soft Brillo pad but I don't think will fly with this setup .

Is McLeod still doing flywheel rebuilds ? What's the cost ?

Thanks

New flywheel or send to McLeod

I don't remember the price but I hear they are the only ones that could add a steel plate to the stock one

I called McLeod. Waiting to hear back but I see some people have resurfaced

Call mcleod. I had them install a new friction disk onto my FW.

It was my understanding that the flywheel can be resurfaced one time.

I just had mine rebuilt by McLeod, cost about $150 with shipping. I would not personally resurface it, as that steel insert is quite thin as it is and you'll have the edges warp and curl under any abuse. Then you'll have a spongy pedal and poor disengagement and be wishing you just did it right lol. $150-$175 for basically a new flywheel is a great deal.

The OEM flywheel at 11 lbs. is one of the lightest available. I would stick with that.

The shop has a flywheel surfacing machine and the oem 03/04's don't turn out well, it's better to get a new insert or new flywheel. I got a great deal on a new Mcleod last month...a speed shop on ebay had a few NOS...
