Default oem clutch replacement - balancing necessary?

i will likely soon replace my oem clutch with a new oem clutch while retaining the stock flywheel. do either the new clutch or flywheel need to be balanced prior to reassembly? does the flywheel need to be cleaned and/or turned?

Na, just slap it on. Be sure to keep it clean as possible when installing

WOAH!,, your going to keep the stock FW?, why?- see if your budget will allow a lighter FW, its rather nice to have and the car response to it very well.

I thought flywheels should be resurfaced if you are going to mate them to a new clutch.

Sorry, are you going to reuse the FW that you had?
IF SO then yes see if you can get it resurfaced.

But if your getting a new one then just slap it on.

Sorry.

i think most ppl will suggest to put on a light flywheel when you replace the clutch.

sounds good to me, when you resurface the FW its going to be lighter than it orignally was.

A specialized transmission shop or a machine shop can do it.
