When I am installing my new clutch set, is it a must to get the flywheel resurfaced?

If so, how much does this normally run? What kinda shops can do it or can I do it myself?

 

don't listen to anyone that tells you not too. It is a must. Most clutch companies will void their warrenty if it is not machined. I got mine done at CarQuest for $30. However, not all CarQuests have a machine shop. Just call around. It only takes an hour for them to do it.

30 bucks isnt bad. whats involved in the process?

 

Pep Boys should be able to do it also

 

Very similar process to turning your brake rotors...definitely get the flywheel resurfaced.

 

I ahve also heard that the flywheel must be shimed in the amount of material removed. I have not found any back up info on this but it does make scence. anyone have more info or places that will carry shims?

 

I havent heard of that. Would you really need to considering that it would be minimal amounts lost and just a natural process for a flywheel?
