I originally posted this in tech section but no answers

I am wondering if you can freshen up the surface of a used clutch plate maybe with some sand paper or some sort of abrasive. I do know "freshening" it will take some life off the clutch. It only has a few hundred miles on it from previous car. The clutch is a Competition Clutch stage 5 with upgraded pressure plate. Any info would be appreciated

 

I would say no, the surfaces have aleady been mated to each other.

 

agreed , deal with it or replace

 

i've taken some 220 grit sandpaper to a clutch before (for our GRM 2007$ car, and for my old daily driver).. i sanded the flywheel (orbital sander), clutch pressure plate surface, and the clutch disc (lightly)

seemed to work fine.. it probably would have been fine if i hadnt, but all three parts were used, and had never seen each other before.

budget budget budget.. good luck!

 

ok thanks for the info. If i do mess with it everything will be very lightly sanded, maybe. Keep the info coming

 

good luck, wasnt thinking before ,,, if your doing the labor your only out what ever time it takes to swap out again if it does'nt work

 

I will be doing the labor so if it f**** up i'll just buy a new clutch plate and try again
