As much as I want to do the work myself; if anything else, to assure myself that it's done right, I just don't have the time to replace the clutch on my Focus that has began slipping.
I have reached out to two shops so far about doing the repairs and it seems that I am saying a bad word when I mention that I want the flywheel resurfaced. Is it safe to assume that not resurfacing the flywheel is a common practice?
I can't speak for anyone else, but I want the maximum life out of my new clutch and resurfacing it assures that and is something I won't compromise on.
The latest shop I spoke to mentioned bringing a new flywheel for them to swap out....so is it a time (labor) issue the reason why places apparently don't want to resurface it or is it something with shops not knowing that this is a necessity OR am I just having bad luck so far and it is a common practice to resurface it?
I'm about to give in and buy a new flywheel and just hold on to the stock flywheel and have it resurfaced in the event 10 years or so down the line I need to replace the clutch again I can just swap it out.
Should I continue to just call around or just go with getting a new flywheel and keep the old one in the event I need to replace the clutch in 5 or 10 years?
