I've done 2 tranny/clutch swaps in the last 2 weeks. I found a new machine shop just up the road to have the flywheels turned (I take in a spare ahead of time), old place behind a house, you know the type. The first one was no problem, driving it now, works fine. When I dropped the second one off, he looked at it and said I probably shouldn't use it, as it had been turned before (could tell by the scalloped ridges still visible in the outer face). He said that after turning them more than once or twice, the slave won't be able to reach, and shifting will be difficult, especially going into 1st at a stop. I had him do it anyway, it's installed now and works fine.
But I guess it kinda sorta does make sense. I've never come across this before, is there a minimum thickness spec somewhere?
I was also thinking that if it was too thin and wouldn't work any more, you could fix it by sticking a washer under the pivot post inside the bellhousing, to make it stick out a little more. Wondering if this would work...
