Thank You, I was concerned as the indy doing the job sounded a little shakey. The machine shop he is sending them to told him they "do it all of the time" That sounds good but doing it all of the time does not always make it right.

On my 2000 the clutch shop said NO so you might check to be sure.

I had mine resurfaced about a month ago together with a clutch/pressureplate R+R and it ended up out of balance, resulting in severe shaking above 3.5-4K rpm. I replaced it with a lightweight flywheel. Very happy now.

I guess it very much depends on the capabilities of the machine shop that's doing the work. Assuming labor on pulling the transmission again if it turns out the DMF is out of balance, is more than the cost of a new flywheel (especially a good LFWF like AASCO's for $800 bucks), I would not take my chances when faced with the question again.
