Over heating causes hard spots on the flywheel and pressure plate. I've had really poor luck in resurfacing flywheels that have gotten too hot, and the chatter returns in short order even with Blanchard grinding. The structure of the metal changes, and while you can get it to look pretty, it is probably going to chatter.

This... I hope. I have my clutch out now and have been trying to decide what to do. Should I just get the clutch/TB, & PB, or go ahead and get a new flywheel too?

My original FW has been ground twice and the chatter always came back.

Any recommendations for an entire clutch setup (show/street)?
