be cheap and sand it down urself.. although.. it will never come out as if u have it resurfaced... its just good to resurface the flywheel.. because it gives the clutch a new contact patch.. rather than a surface with ridges and some indentastions in it from previous clutch slammage.... up to u.. be prepared if it effects the clutch's life span and or grab...

that has nothing to do with engine torque, that clutch will work harder with that trans then a lower gear ratio one.

if you dont resurace it good enough the clutch will wear improperly and will go out a lot sooner then if you got it done. if your trying to go the cheap route i think a brake shop can resurface them and thats inbetween you doing it and a machine shop doing it.

the machine shop where i live charges 50$ to get it resurfaced and it looks real nice when you get it machined. a brake place will charge you probilby half that. and a new flywheel i think cost at least 150$? i got me a used one and resurfaced it lol.
