it's my understanding that these flywheels (DMF) cannot be resurfaced because of the elastomer between the FW pieces. if that's the case, a proper clutch job would include a flywheel even at 50k. it's that, or you use the old one w/ its glaze & hot spots, thus reducing the life of the clutch you just installed.
