Whats the point of resurfacing the flywheel, cant you just clean it off with brake cleaner??

yes and no.
the point of resurfacing the flywheel is making the surface flat and smooth again.

you can cheap out and just spray, but you clutch will mostlikely fail sooner... and not hold as hard

 

if your flywheel has a blueish color to it then it needs to be resurfaced or if you can see little cracks it needs to be resurfaced. its cheap to do around 25 bucks and doesnt take them very long to do it.

 

Yea I heard it worps slightly over time, and my friend with a 91 has 165k miles and my 90 has 115k miles and his clutch is way smoother, im guessing last time his got replaced that his flywheel got resurfaced, I will get it resurface. What kind of place would do this for me??
