I am wondering if every time a flywheel gets resurfaced before installing a new clutch then the grip of the clutch will be reduced compared to the last one is this true? or will the clutch will self-adjust to the new parameters?

thanks <br>

The pressure plate bolts to the newly milled surface. In other words, the threaded holes are on the same surface that gets milled, so there is no change in distance between the pressure plate and the flywheel surface. The limiting factor in flywheel cutting is flywheel thickness. You have to stay thick enough to avoid heat and stress cracks. <br>

The reason you resurface is so the clutch disc can brake in properly. Everything wears together so it lasts longer and doesn't grab off-balance. It can only be resurfaced down to a certain degree.

Sorry, just realized that their are two types of flywheels that came in J's. One is flat, like I was talking about earlier, and one is stepped and pinned. You gotta take the pins out and machine the disk mating surface, AND the pressure plate mounting surface. Either the Chilton's or the Haynes books will tell you what tolerances to hold so far as distance between surfaces and total thickness. <br>
