So i pulled the tranny a few weeks ago thinking that it was messed up since every mechanic i talked to in person said its not a clutch deal and when i asked on this forum everyone confirmed that my tranny was most likely the cluprit.

Well i pulled the tranny knowing that id replace the clutch and the transmission has been out for a week or two i just hadnt gotten around to taking off the pressure plate and the clutch disk thinking id take it off when i got the new trany well i had some time today so i popped em off and well my clutch fell into a few pieces on the flywheel side. But i was too exited thinking to myslef haha i told those mofuckers i was sure it was the clutch to think of any damage done to the flywheel.

So when i did think of it i ran out and checked it out but im not sure because the flywheel looks decently clean and smooth as can be. No scoring or gouges. But i snapped some pics to see if i could get a second confirmation only because theres black spots which i assume are burn marks or something but im not sure if they will do anything since you cant even feel them.

So here you go, let me know what you guys think.

Thanks
Matt

I guess the pictures arent great probably because my camera blows, if need be ill borrow my girlfriends neato expensive one and get some more.

Oh and if anybody knows how to check a transmission when its out of the car to tell if it is good or not id apprieciate that.

if i were you i would get the flywheel resurfaced but check for any cracks in it first

Oh man its going to be a bitch getting a flywheel off with my tools
(all the tools i use to work on my 7 are just tools ive compiled over the years of BMXing)

Well, i know there arent any cracks as i can see now but i guess ill get it off and make sure and resurfacing sounds like a good idea thanks 13bturbofc

EDIT- by the way the first picture is just there to show that first gear doesnt need to see redline.

if you take an abrasive scotchbrite disc on a die grinder and go over the surface you can inspect it alot better for cracks or feel the surface for warping...you will need a special socket and flywheel stopper to remove it and its a real bitch...search for removing flywheel for more info on that

I would just try and find a decent used flywheel, it looks like the clutch slipped alot and overheated and glazed the surface.

That flywheel needs to be surfaced.

i just hit mine with some emory cloth not to the point where it was polished though and sprayed it down with brake cleaner i also sent my friends out to a clutch shop for 30 bucks it was all resufaced as far as pulling the flywheel off iv never used the puller some light taps on the outer sides not the gear and a little pry with the ball joint puller and off it came but thats just me i dont have nice tools

save up and get a lightweight flywheel...worth the money...
