New Clutch and Flywheel Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm going to be installing a new clutch soon (no slipping or issues, just preemptive maintenance). I ordered this kit from Exedy:

EXEDY 04804 Racing Clutch Kit
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do I need to replace the flywheel with this kit or will it fit the stock flywheel? Also, if it does fit the stock flywheel, should the flywheel need replacing or resurfacing? I haven't been to the track, rarely launch hard and have 60k miles on it.

Thanks.

Ended up calling Exedy and it fits the stock flywheel. But I am still wondering about resurfacing or replacing the flywheel. I'm hoping that someone can comment.

damn, cant believe no one ever commented. im sure you know already but for the future audience,

---- Unless its cracked or excessively heat spotted, and you're not doing any hard launches, autocross, etc.. anything that abuses the clutch, then just resurface the flywheel. For anything else a replacement is recommended, if you're not hard on the clutch the get another OEM flywheel, if you're boosting a steel is recommended, and if you're doing autocross or for a particular reason you want your RPM's to drop and raise faster/quickly, but will make stop and go traffic a bit harder then get an aluminum flywheel.

I went with an aluminum flywheel from fidanza, LS7 clutch and pilot bearing, Tick bearing support, and speed bleeder, and ARP bolts for the clutch.
