[QUOTE="Jocko, post: 7311357, member: 49191"] [b]I "should" have; but I didn't...[/b] Dude, I deliberated over this but long story short (too late), I bought this car used with low miles and the clutch chattered like crazy form the day I drove it off the lot. I had to replace a TOB and while I was at it I found that the sleeve was snapped. Figured I'd replace the clutch while I had it all out and found the flywheel to be serviceable. I chalked the chatter to the flywheel being warped from the previous owner/Ford torqueing the bolts WAY too tight (loctite notwithstanding). While I won't tell you what I "scuffed" the flywheel with- I will say that I am VERY pleased with the results. Virtually no chatter (it's an aluminum flywheel after-all) with a "pretty much" off idle-start with no issues. I've got a boss that tells me all day long you should've done it this way so I got pissed at your post that directed me how I should've done something instead of directing me to some sort of solution to my original query. I have had a couple of Beam and cokes (hence the long post) so I'll just say that it's not ALWAYS neccessary to replace you flywheel if it has no cracks or hot spots. Was I smart? No, but it worked out. The end. TA DA! [/QUOTE]
