Or do you have to replace it everytime you change the clutch?

 

im wondering the same thing, maybe the cost of a new ring would be around the same price of a resurface?

 

i dont see why not.. i resurfaced mine no problems..

 

You can get a replacement for 100$, vs a 30-50 dollar resufacing. I would (and am) buying a replacement just for peace of mind

Actually, you should even be able to find the replacement for quite a bit less than $100, making the cost difference between a traditional resurfacing and a brand-new surface more or less negligible.

 

if you happen to know where to buy them.....please post. its about that time for mine and am now in the market.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Padawan &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

I talked to clutchmasters, they said that you can take 3 thousandths off safely, but not more than that. That is enough to get the glaze off the friction ring

 

u can get one from ClutchMasters for $100.

i had to replace mines cause i had hot spots.

 

they told me 100 also....i wanted to try and find one cheaper

 

the cheapest i found was $80 at GTM Performance, in Daly City, CA.

but i needed it quick and wasnt sure if they could had got it to me on time.

so payed the little extra

 

I wouldn't recommend it. If you run an indicator on a new insert you will notice that it is not flat. It has high spots between the bolts. These high spots flatten out a bit with the load of the clutch. They can get much higher when the insert is overheated and warps. If you grind the surface flat, the places between the bolts become low spots (under clutch load), instead of high spots... How about a economical solid chrome-moly XACT flywheel? Sorry, shameless plug!
