Re: [AMC-list] Thinking about getting the flywheel resurfaced - what else should be hit at the same time?

" well is probably a better choice than a car that looks pretty inside.

first - the flywheel doesn't have to be resurfaced every time you
replace the clutch, unless you're in the habit of wearing the disk
down to the rivets.  is it behaving properly?

if you are going to do it, i'd check everything you have to take apart
to get to it as well as everything it exposes, from main seal to
bearing retainer.  starter?  clutch linkage?  etc.  probably nothing
to see, but easy to take a look while you're in there.
