[s-cars] Resurfacing Dual Mass Flywheel

[Bill Clancy]

I just had mine done.   It was no big deal.   I also read the threads and 
was worried that it was going to be a huge hassle.    I brought the flywheel 
into the machine shop and asked if there would be any problems.   He said 
that sometimes the two masses are a looser (than mine was) an it is hard to 
machine.    He had no trouble with it.   I installed it last week with a new 
clutch and it couldn't be smoother.

I have also seen some pictures of an Audi dual mass flywheel that looked 
quite different and had a lip around the edge with the center more recessed. 
Perhaps this is the design that others have described as being a problem.
