Flywheel

Blue Water · 03-22-2007, 07:36 PM

Hi all,
First time here.
I'm going to try my hand at replacing my clutch in my 95 chevy truck.
I was wondering, how can I tell if the flywheel needs to be turned?

Thanks

Its best just to have it turned. I worked at a machine shop for awhile, and even the flywheels that still looked good were warped pretty bad. The flywheel is subject to alot of heat and abuse, its cheap insurance. Especially if it is a stepped flywheel, or if the clutch was completly wiped out. It only cost 30-45 bucks, might as well do it.

I'm doing it on saturday, and I'm hoping I get it out before the maching shop closes......
