Clutch replacement recommendations

I’m curious as to why the flywheel would need to be replaced. What am I missing?

 

Flywheel usually just needs to be resurfaced. It can be hard to find a machine shop that will do it in a timely fashion, so a lot of folks (like me) will just opt for a replacement to have a second one on hand for the life of the truck so that you can get it done before replacing a clutch to have it on hand.

 

I just installed the Centerforce II (not the dual friction) clutch, flywheel, TOB, and clutch pressure plate on my 17'. https://www.centerforce.com/i-30500...in-dia-21-spline-fits-toyota-tacoma-3-5l.html

I'm at 230 miles on the break-in period. Been hard to stay off the highway. I had intermittent chatter for the first 130 miles or so at low RPMs in 2nd and sometimes 3rd. Seem to have gotten past that because I haven't heard anything for the last 100 miles. Granted this was my first time doing a clutch replacement myself so I'm not sure that I got everything right. I very well might have fudged it and will have to re-do it, but hey that's the price of learning.

 

Hopefully everything holds up well! I just received my dual friction earlier today! Installing next week!

 

None whatsoever. It is very smooth in all regimes. I had also previously done the accumulator delete mod to take that out of the loop.

Sorry for taking so long to answer!

 

No worries! I just got the dual friction installed last week!

 

How's it working out for you?

 

I love it! Engagement between gears is nice!

 

Mines at 800 miles now. Fully broken in and feels great as well. Haven't had any chatter for 500+ miles.

 

Glad it's working so well. I would hate for anyone to be disappointed after me speaking so highly about it. Ton of work, but I don't regret it at all.

 

I’m right at 300 miles on it so far, but great nonetheless!
