Yet another question about this BAM rebuild.
The guy asked me to see what the options are with the clutch.
Given its all out its probably a good idea to change the clutch at this point however when i inspected the flywheel it seems to "wobble". IE if you grab one edge of the friction surface, you can pull/push it away from and towards the crankshaft and it sort of rocks from side to side.
I've had a look around and there appears to be a chassis revision on the flywheel assy around 2002, with this car being a 2004 model it has the newer version of the flywheel which costs a whopping 450quid. A Sachs clutch kit comes in around £160, meaning its nearly 600quid on a new flywheel and clutch.
Are there any other viable options?
Can i use the cheaper earlier flywheel, and what are the differences between the two?
Is this "wobbly" flywheel normal, meaning i can refit it as is and just throw a new clutch and slave cylinder in?
