Even then it took years for it to start slipping. That said, I had the flywheel resurfaced but not balanced (I didn't know to until now!) on the spare engine I rebuilt. Now, an engine issue becomes a weekend swap, rather than months waiting on machine work and parts. <br><br>Terry Smith, '59 TR3A<br>New Hampshire<br><br>> On June 27, 2017 at 8:24 AM glemon@neb.rr.com wrote:<br>> <br>> <br>> I did many clutch jobs when I was young, cheap, and ignorant, and didn't reface the clutch.

I have always examined the flywheel surface and then made that decision based on that examination. A friend says that should automatically be part of the clutch job. <br>> > > <br>> > > <br>> > > <br>> > > Ed Woods<br>> > > <br>> > > <br>> > > ** triumphs@autox.team.net **<br>> > > <br>> > > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>> > > Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>> > > Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>> > > Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/rbtr3a@cox.net<br>> <br>> <br>> ** triumphs@autox.team.net **<br>> <br>> Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>> Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>> Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>> Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/terryrs@comcast.net<br></body></html>
