By all means, yes! and i hope this guy is jst being sarcastic. If u don't the clutch plate will wear prematurely, cost even more money in the future to replace it again!

at over 100K miles...on my civic ex the stock clutch had to be replaced cuz it worn out.
the first store that did my clutch said your flywheel has scorch bubble marks and told me to replace it. i was like **** it.
25K miles later, the new clutch that was installed is now wearing out and possibly due to the fact i didn't resurface my flywheel or replace it the first time.
and now i bought a brand new flywheel and brand new exedy organic clutch and i'm dropping it in tomorrow.
do it right the first time, replace that flywheel. a stock flywheel only costs $75.

Ok i do my fair share of sarcasim around here like everyone else. But when its a thread like this i tend to tell the truth because people would believe that. So that post was not right.
Resurface the flywheel everytime you take it appart from the clutch. Its a must!

Re: Is it true that when you install a new clutch you should resurface your flywheel? (ferby)
The procedure is to resurface the flywheel every time u install a new clutch... Though if it looks good and ur tight for cash it's not completely necessary. Would be a good idea though!

Resurface if you keep your original flywheel, or replace it entirely. You could also get a lightweight flywheel if you wanted to. As good a time as any since everything could be done at once.

Oh yeah just spend $300+ on a new flywheel when you get a new clutch. Tell your mechanic to put a flywheel up his ***

Resurfacing only costs 20 bucks for a dual step flywheel.
plus I have a spoon flywheel and ill be godamned if I pay 1000 dollars everytime I need to swap out a clutch every 80 thousand miles,

Re: (137)
I was just wondering if my clutch is already irreprably damaged if I replaced it (ACT HDSS, stock B18B 100k mi) w/o resurfacing the flywheel. It's been there for 1k mainly freeway miles, and the guy who rebuild my tranny said, after driving my car, it felt fine, very little chatter off idle. He said I didn't have to have it resurfaced, same for my bro - just remove the glaze. The main reason I didnt' resurface it was due to extreme time constraints - I absolutely needed to have it done, and my schedule was f00king crazy. I have the next 3 days now to do it now w/o work or school, and since I've already taken 3 honda trannys out, it'd be easy.
The main problem I have is that this is Wisconsin, not SoCal where speed shops are around every corner. The fact is I don't put too many miles on my car, and not sure if I'd have to get an ACT XT pressure plate for when I boost it.
Basicly I'm asking if premature wear can be avaoided yet if I was to take it apart and resurface the flywheel, since the clutch isn't really broken in yet. Go easy on me, if you knew my cash/ride availibility/work/school story, you'd probably understand. It had seemed like the perfect time when I rebuilt my tranny, but **** just hit the fan.

Re: (HiProfile)
It's a good idea to resurface the fly wheel. You only need to replace it if the machine shop you go to says it can't be resurfaced. It's not too bad only cost $40 bucks around here. Good luck
