    C2 Pressure plate and clutch replace/keep?...

    I have my motor (65 300hp) out for rebuild and am currently faced with replacing or installing the LuK pressure plate and clutch disk. Is there a rule of thumb in the replace/resurface decision? Flywheel and pressure plate look to be free of cracks but do show surface burn (...swirley bluish discoloration). Clutch disk is about 3/8 thick and clutch was working fine prior to pulling the motor. Hate to fix stuff that ain't broke, usually wind up breaking something that wasn't broke. On the other hand, I realize pulling the tranny in the future aint gonna be no picnic either...

    Thanks

    Localized discoloration is normal.

    If the clutch behaved well, it's not unreasonable to just replace the disk (or have it relined) and the release bearing. If the disk and release bearing don't have that many miles and you don't expect to drive the car enough in the foreseeable future to wear them out, just reinstall the existing parts.

    At worst, if you make the wrong decision, you will have to do a clutch job sometime in the future.
