Default importance of stepped flywheel

how important is it to have your flywheel stepped on the ka? on 2 different occasions for my car the friction surface has been machined flat (2 different machinist) with the mounting surface.

im starting to think that is the cause for the 1day clutch from 4 weeks ago and the 6 puck that is starting to go soft on me and its only 4 days old. doesnt even hop, drives like a normal sprung hub. it doesnt seem like its no where near as harsh or have as much bight as it should. going to replace the master as well cause the HDX pressure plate doesnt seem as stiff as it should.

not entirely sure, but if it came stepped, id be willing to bet that nissan engineers know more than the retard resurfacing your flywheel.


and isnt this the same person that went on some long speech about how bad it is to just use a die grinder and a 3m pad?
my flywheel is still stepped properly, and clutch is doing fine.

yeah. im think that .05mm means a lot. im going to replace the master and take out that stupid secondary bleed box. hopefully thatll fix it.

i still wont use a 3m pad nor die grinder. too many variables.

ill probably take my spare flywheel to my other machinist. just have to tell him its a stepped flywheel.

i would still rather clean a flywheel with a 3m pad and die grinder that takes at the most .0005" off the surface, then have my flywheel machined improperly, and ruin clutches.
to each his own i guess.

i put in a exedy clutch in my old ka, i didnt touch the flywheel, and that clutch worked like a champ. bottom line, its a ka, it doesnt matter.
