Hey guys, I'm completely new to this forum and muscle cars all-together really (yes I'm a ricer with a 92' eagle talon tsi, almost a mopar)

Anyway last night I started a clutch job on his 340 4-speed cuda and today I pulled the disc off and have a couple questions.

1. The new clutch disc that he bought is bigger than his old one, it also doesn't look like it will mount to the flywheel correctly, but he didn't buy a new flywheel, just the disc and pressure plate (Mcleod) I'm guessing that he needs to buy either a new clutch kit or a new flywheel but I don't know which???

2. If he ends up needing to keep the current flywheel I have a question about the resurfacing. It looks like it has small heat spots all over it but the thing is as smooth as glass Does it still need resurfaced or can I go over it with a scotch pad?

3. If the flywheel does need resurfaced is there a step in it or is it just a basic grind?

4. Do I have to remove the flywheel to tell if the car has a pilot bushing or bearing? How can I tell if it's bad?


Thanks for all your help, I really need to get this done since he's trying to make the Mopar Nationals this weekend, he lined this up with 2 other guys a couple weeks ago but they kept putting him off and here I am at last minute trying to make things work, help me get him back on the road.
