Always planning for the eventual, I was checking on replacement options for the 1997+ OEM single disc clutch / dual mass flywheel. For some reason, I had it in my head that when the clutch disc / pressure plate went, the flywheel had to be replaced with it which is a $2300 US ticket all by itself. However, I see that Honda does sell the disc and pressure plate separately. The factory service manual is explicit in requiring replacement of the flywheel if run-out is excessive. It is silent about resurfacing for surface flaws / burning.
Does anybody have experience with replacement with OEM and if so, did you do just the disc and pressure plate or did you also do the flywheel? If you did the flywheel, were there causes for that decision such as excessive run-out or surface cracking or was it done for some other reason?
