Spec Clutch

I want to change the clutch to my MCS 2004 but when I was buying it I read that I have to change the flywheel too or the OEM one has to be resurfaced.
Is that true, someone told me that if I take too much weight off the flywheel it can jump off by breaking the gear box.
Do I necessarily have to change the flywheel?

I am getting the Stage 2.

You might have better luck posting in the 1st Generation Forum instead of the 2nd Generation one....

At minimum, get your flywheel re-surfaced. If you don't, you will probably have undesirable noises and chattering...
