Default resurface flywheel?

When I install my new clutch, do I have to get my flywheel resurfaced?

i do if it looks uneven in spots or if it looks heated up. you are supposed to but you can get away with not doing it if it looks ok.

definitely, it's not expensive, and doesn't take long.. last thing I wanna do after dropping/reinstalling a tranny is drop and reinstall the tranny again.

Resurface it. Cheap and easy. Kinda like cheap insurance, because it may be fine, but if it isn't, new clutch and new flywheel down the road.

i took it to a place in my town and it took 2 hours and cost me 30$. why not just do it and then you dont have to worry about it.

It's too cheap not to. Save yourself possible trouble in the future.

I've heard that you need to resurface a flywheel when installing a new clutch so that the clutch can seat into the flywheel correctly and so that it makes a better initial grab onto the clutch.

just got my fidanza flywheel from titanmotorsports, quick service, hopefully ill put that badboy on tomorrow with my new clutch. i too was lazy to get the flywheel resurfaced, although i heard that if the flywheel has hot spots or cracks, it wouldnt be recommended to put it back in so i just bought the wheel again.
