I'm about to put a new clutch this weekend. The clutch is a 6 puck. This is the model. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...05941

Do I need to resurface the flywheel?

and failing that just contact any shop that would do a clutch for you...as them if they can just resurface the flywheel, if they dont have the equipment odds are they can point you to the guy they goto...

When I replaced my clutch I just sanded the whole flywheel with fine grit sandpaper. It looked new when I was done and has worked perfectly ever since. It was a stage 1 centerforce.

Find a local NAPA, I'm in Union County, NJ and most napas around here have machine services.

The only time you wouldn't resurface the flywheel when changing your clutch is if the flywheel is brand new.
