Sorry for the noob question, but I have to know. I just ordered a clutch kit for my turbo LS which didn't include a flywheel. My question is that is it imperative that I get a new flywheel with my clutch kit? can I get by just resurfacing my stock one? What would be the reasons for having to get a new one?
thanks

 

well some people want a lightened flywheel over stock and some people beleive that a lightened one will through off the balance of the motor,
you don't really need a new one, u can just resurface your stock one

 

thanks, BTW approx. how much would it cost to get mine resurfaced?

 

well a cheap machine shop will do it from anywhere from 20-40 dollars

 

A lightened flywheel will allow the car to rev a little faster but will also slow down faster between gears like when shifting.

Resurfacing could be as much as 75.00.

Email handcommand either on H-T or on ebay. He has stock resurfaced and lightened flywheels that weigh 12.8 pounds versus 18 of a stock one.
I use one of these and really like it. Sturdy, lighter and OEM.
