I got my flywheel used for 200 bucks. I think new the are 300ish. Turning the flywheel is similar to having your rotors turned. It makes the surface where the clutch contacts pretty much like new. If you don't there is a possibility it will chatter and wear out prematurely. I would also get the gasket where the mid-pipe and header meet, just in case yours falls apart like mine did. Its like 5 bucks at napa.

 

All of you forgot the biggest part that will save a hell of a lot of time and headace, the clutch alignment tool. They come in every kit or are pretty cheep separately. I would honestly buy a kit, you can get them cheaper than piecing one together, and everything is there. Only thing you have to do is get the flywheel resurfaced which isnt always needed. Inspect the flywheel for heat checking, excessive wear, cracking or any forms of damage. if it looks good spray it down with brake cleaner, hit it with a little sandpaper and spray it down again. Dont forget to clean the shipping oil off the face of the pressure plate with brake cleaner, and the clutch is facing correctly.

Overall parts you need:
Pilot bearing
Throw out bearing
Clutch
Pressure plate

Also make sure you inspect the clutch fork for damage or excessive wear. Specifically where the throwout bearing and pivot point are. While your at it inspect/replace the front trans seal too.

 

thanks man, i've got clutch alignment tools so that's an easy one. i'm just gonna resurface the stock fly wheel unless i happen to run across a free aluminum one.

if it is cheaper for me to piece one together i will...but i want a somewhat reliable quality piece...thats why i want the stock stuff.

Im sure you can find a stock replacement, or name brand aftermarket from those at a decent/cheaper price than piecing together. Your welcome

 

yeah i was looking at those earlier today... i think i might go with the zoom kit.

 

Its what Im using, its a little stiffer than stock but travel is the same. So far its held up outstanding for 12k miles with occasional racing.

 

AWESOME, i think i will be going with that kit...as soon as i can afford it i will buy it, and a video will be up shortly after that...
thanks guys any other input is greatly appreciated!!!

 

I paid $565 for a complete kit, it was FRPP M7060D46 and it came complete with everything (clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, installation tool and the pilot bearing I forgot about in my post above). I had mine shipped in from Downs Ford in NJ because it was getting hard to find at the time.

As far as re-surfacing the flywheel or not, it may or may not need it, but why take the chance when it's so much work to get back apart and if it's not a good surface, it will give you chatter and early clutch failure problems. At the minimum, take it to a shop and have it checked for flatness and cracking.

 

Ironically i work in a place where they check aircradft parts for flatness

 

If you have a dye penetrant kit there, you're good to go for crack checking. If the plate is flat, has no burn spots in it and no cracking, you should be able to just scuff the surface with scotchbrite or 600 grit paper to clean any gunk or glaze off it, wash it down with brake cleaner, and put it back in.
