Default New clutch and may be a flywheel

Having a new clutch fitted tomorrow at scoobyclinic, just wondered whats the consequences of not having the flywheel balanced or a new flywheel fitted.

I beleve it's good practice to have the flywheel skimed when fitting a new clutch to prolong life.

What clutch are you having fitted if you don't mind me asking? I am looking to get the Scoobyclinic clutch that is advertised for £375 within the next few weeks fitted to my '96 UK Classic. I have a Fidanza 5.2KG flywheel to go on also and am hoping to see a little difference in pick up.

Please post on how you get on service wise etc.

Had the new clutch fitted yesterday and I had the uprated semi-race clutch at £375.

So far feels alot better than before, also I had to have a new flywheel fitted as the old one was completey shot, but this Picks up alot better than before.

Service wise they're very good and friendly. Had a tour round the place and while waiting for the car I had the pleasure of driving there lovely courtesey car.

Nice. How long did it take approximately to fit? I will have to travel for about 2 hours to get there so may take a little tour also.

It took me 3.5 hours to get there, so arrived dead on 9am and I picked the car up at 3.30, but I think they had problems with the flywheel that's why it may have taken so long.
