I've currently got a LS7 clutch in the car. about 60k on it, 200+ track passes over a 2 year span. Great life out of it, slipping a bit only when pushed hard at the track. I want to toss in another LS7 clutch, can I get away with the clutch/pressure plate only and a simple "resurface" of the flywheel? By simple I mean take some sandpaper and rough it up enough to force a new surface to form. Or do you think after that much abuse/wear better off with a new flywheel? If that's the case... who sells a reasonably priced kit??? Parts Taxi has it for $431 but shipping to Canada is iffy, summit is backordered for the parts $309 from summit but the flywheel is $288, but I can get the flywheel holding tool, pilot bearing, and alignment tool there too on the cheap.

I have seen nothing but early failures from non-machined flywheels that were "resurfaced."

Machine or new.

I would probably go ahead and get another one just so it wont cause damage to new parts. but just wondering, I just got my first LS7 clutch kit recently and noticed that the flywheel has a raised section around the outer rim... is your like this or is it smooth all the way around?

ws6store.com sells the whole ls7 kit with flywheel for 460

The flywheel has a raised section. I was surprised at the pricing of the flywheel on summit, I got a kit back in 06 before kits were readilly available but I didn't spend that much on the 2 separate parts ($288 for flywheel alone???).

Well gotta order a flywheel tool now...
