When I replaced the clutch earlier this summer I replaced the flywheel for a
much better condition one. It only had surface oxidation but because I was
putting in a new clutch I was told to get it resurfaced instead of simply
cleaning so the clutch would not "burn" into the old grooves and wear
prematurely. The machine shop did a really great job and I only paid
$20cdn. IMO the best $20 I have spent this summer.
Just my 3cents cdn
