Flywheel: resurface or replace
Wore out my clutch. There is some scarring on the flywheel. The shop says they want to resurface it.
Any downside to resurfacing? Or just spring for a new replacement.
If replacement, what clutch kit would you recommend?
Not looking for high-performace. Just something that's reasonably priced and appropriate for the S2K. (It's an AP1 with 100k+. Not my daily driver.)
Tx!

Looking at my manual, the wear on the friction plate could be as much as 2.9mm for the thickness of the plate to reach service limit. I wouldn't want to take anywhere near that much off the flywheel when resurfacing. I removed 8 thou(0.2mm) from mine and it's fine, I would have thought you could take maybe 0.5-0.8mm without any issues, as long as the car doesn't have a lot of extra hp. I guess however, the only drawback is that your clutch might start to slip a little earlier than it would with a new flywheel.

is there an issue with the step height if you just resurface and not maintain that spec? I'm just asking and by no means, an expert.

OP - just resurface. Cheaper and still within spec, you're golden.
