Yes Yes and Yes. If you don't do it you void the warranty of your clutch. Pay about 45 bucks I reckon. Don't forget to change your spiggot bearing too.

might aswell do the thrust bearing and spiggot bearing aswell. and the rear main seal on the motor and the box, saves u doing it untill u change the clutch again if u feel like it and it isnt that expensive (rear main seal on motor is 16 bucks, thrust bearing is 30ish spiggot is 10)

machine the MoFo. The place i get my clutch kits from charge me about $20 to machine them ontop of the price of the clutch, and they can do it then and there in about 15 minutes.

Clutches generate a lot of heat which is why they wear out. The clutch linings break down in various ways. The flywheel cops a lot of heat and sometimes has surface cracks and blue spots. They can warp too. If you're getting a new clutch and pressure plate it would be a good idea to renew the spigot and throwout bearing too. A small price to pay to prevent a big problem later. |
