Clutch/Flywheel Question
I finally sold the 535i and bought an E36 328is. I realize that this is the 5-series board, but you have helped me so many times I come here first. Also old habits die hard.
I am having the clutch replaced as it started to slip a little bit. The clutch kit did not come with a flywheel, and my mechanic called me today and let me know that the flywheel is a 2-piece unit and cannot be machined. He recommended that I buy a new one. Of course a new flywheel is not cheap, and additionally I was planning to drive to TX in 3 days to see my son get back home from his 15 month long Iraq tour.
My question is: Would I be making a big mistake if I have the original flywheel put back in? Any other ideas?
