May I add to make sure to replace your flywheel at the time of clutch disk replacement. Al from Alsip, IL ... From: gotnolovenow To: festiva@yahoogroups.com ...
I can understand replacing the pilot bearing, as it is normal to replace with the clutch. However, unless the flywheel is damaged, you really should not have...
I just got the rear seal and saddle gasket kit for $14 at Advance Auto parts. I believe the front main seal is about that cheap, too. ... bad is this ... ...
I had my flywheel resurfaced and the new clutch only lasted 30k miles. After installing a new flywheel on the second replacement, the clutch is now 35k miles...
I used to resurface flywheels on the same machine we did rotors and drums. However, rotors and drums are cheap enough that I don't think many shops do it...
I agree too! If you show signs of heat damage, warping, or cracks on the flywheel - then replacement is suggested rather than attempting to resurface. I do...
I bought my front oil seal (same as the cam seal) at a Mazda dealer. They may argue with you but they are the same as the old 88-89 Mazda 323 wqith a 1.3 L...

Sorry I don't haver a part #. I would also get the cam seal. When I changed mine I thought if one is bad then the other should be too. When I removed the...
Ummm, no 1.3 liter engines in the 3-series Mazda (GLC, 323, Protege) for the US market since 1978. It's probably the same part as found on the 1985-1989 B6,...
