Well you are in the business of working on "stock" cars. There are companies in business of dealing with this stuff which is why they are the ones that resurface the flywheels and the dealer doesn't. This is exactly why South Bend, which happens to be a Clutch Company offers resurfacing of the dual mass flywheel.

Yes. Which is why I bother you all the time for advice for aftermarket performance.

Well, I was anyway. I am on a hiatus from full-time wrenching. Business opportunities presented elsewhere, but I'm not giving up my tools or my car habit. Or the occasional side job to help pay for my habit.
