Does my flywheel need resurfacing?

[maplesyrup]

Hey all, would you take the trouble to have this flywheel resurfaced or use it as is? Perhaps after a little home sanding? Original clutch, 90,000 miles, bit of oil contamination on the flywheel side and lots of dust, can’t feel much in the way of wear with my fingernails.

I have a new clutch pressure plate, disc and throw out bearing to fit and want to get back on the road asap.

Thank you.

With the chatter marks, I'd get it resurfaced. But if you're a gambling man, or in a pinch, you could hit it with a DA sander.

So... you have a new disc... check
new pressure plate... check
new throw out bearing... check
and you want to risk starting all over again and not turn the flywheel?

Not me.

There's not usually time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over again?

Please have it resurfaced.

You mentioned it had 90,000 on the original clutch.

Thanks guys, that’s what I needed to hear, I’ll drop it in to be resurfaced somewhere on Monday 👍

make sure they remove the same amount of material off the pressure plate mounting surface also

If I had a slippage issue, I would always resurface or replace the flywheel when installing new pressure plate, disc, etc. Such slippage is not just "slip in a new disc while I have it apart".
