How much life of the clutch would i loss if i do not have the flywheel turned or resurfaced. Would it work alright but not last as long of would it cause problems?

 

if you haven't changed the clutch yet then when you do change it just get the flywheel resurfaced, It's cheap insurance.

 

i don't have puller to pull it off also i don't have a big enough socket and a bracker bar, and i don't have a flywheel for it. That is going to be at least 50 bucks for all that i don't have that much money right now. I don't even have enough for a clutch. Im just woundering how not resurfacing it will effect the preformance. Will it work fine of not?

 

Then don't bother with the clutch until you can afford to do it right the first time. A glazed and heat spotted flywheel will not allow the new disc to seat in properly, thereby shortening the life of the new clutch.

Nurse along what you have, save, then do it properly.

 

just wondering how much life of the clutch will be lost if i don't have the flywheel turned?

 

bump

 

all of it it wont last hardly at all

 

if you are really concerned you could just toss a new disc in it for the time being until you can afford a new clutch and have the flywheel resurfaced. if your clutch is on it's last leg that is. the more you slip it, the more heat spotted and glazed it will get, keep that in mind also.

 

is it true that you need a puller to get it off. someone on time said that the crank shaft is tappered. Is that true? Also what size of nut is holding the flywheel on. That thing is huge. would my impact wrench take it off or is it torqued on their to tight? one last thing, what does that thing need to be torqued to? i'm guessing alot. thanks.

p.s. what do you mean it will not last hardly at all. 100 miles or are you talking like 50,000.

 

just go to the clutch shop and ask how they resurface. who knows you might only need some sand paper, and about couple hours of sanding, or maybe a 15 dollar grinder from ace?

 

Just to be a smart ***, are your 300 + odd posts in the lounge? Everything you've asked is in many posts.

2-1/8" socket
impact=yes
tapered=yes
puller=yes
280-340 ft. lbs. for torque see the FSM
How long will it last? That's up to you, your driving habits and the present condition of the flywheel.

As a side note, new clutches need to be broken in (it's actually called seating in but nobody refers to it that way). If you have questions about that, then test for yourself. As soon as the new clutch is installed, without resurfacing the flywheel, immediately start doing 5k clutch drops and flat shifting at 7k. After roasting the new disc, in probably less than 100 miles, then maybe you will do it right.

 

sorry for asking!

 

the evil forum at its best.

 

also if you dont resurface the flywheel it might chatter. been there done that you dont want that ****

 

Is this even possible, i would think that the surface would be uneven. or would you not be able to take enough off to matter.
