[s-cars] Centerforce dual friction clutch? New flywheel?

[Cody Payne]

Bill,
	Assuming the condition of the stock Dual mass FW is not too
worn/grooved or has not had to much charred clutch material transferred
to the FW surface it is possible to reuse.  I sourced my FW from
Autosport Werks who I believe gets it from another vendor.  I am sure
one of the listers can suggest a source that is available from the
Internet.

Hmmm...
I had my clutch replaced with an OEM a few years back.    The mechanic
didn't mention the flywheel.   Was it not resurfaced?

As for the LWFW, is there one that is recommended?    I need to do the
clutch again and I'd like an upgrade.

thanks,
-Bill

Gabriel,
Typically when you replace a clutch on an older car you
resurface the flywheel.  Since our cars have a Dual-Mass flywheel they
are not resurfaceable typically and thus need to be replaced w/ NEW OEM.
The cost difference from NEW OEM and a 12lb Alum FW is around 75 to 100
bucks.

Cheers

Cody

Does using the Centerforce dual friction clutch kit require you to get a
new flywheel, or can you use the stock dual mass unit?
