Anyone had this done? I have a great looking t3-t4 clutch kit but the pressure plate has a small amount of glazing. Just wondering.

i did it in my daytona. just take it to your local shop. mine pulled the pins out of it cleaned it up put the pins back in. it was like $40
He asked about the pressure plate, not the flywheel...

Yeah pressure plate.
Honestly, a new T3 pressue plate is about $75. It's not just the surface that wears out on a pressure plate. Plus if you surface it you are increasing the gap between the disc and the pressure plate, this effectively decreases the clamping pressure. I would get a new plate.
wow i need to quit getting up and jumping online before i have my coffee
^^^
The kit may have a few hundred miles on it. but I may just get a new one.
How about some pics? Any discoloration on the plate indicating extreme heat? Could be warped if it does.
Just get a ceramic 4 or 6 puck disc and don't worry about it.
what about just taking the glaze off with a scotch brite pad?? i did that to mine after it sat in the garage over winter uninstalled... got a little surface rust/spots on it from condensation. not the same as glazing, but i bet a scotch pad would dull it up again without removing enough material to make a difference in clamping pressure. just a thought.
If it really has that low mileage, I've done a bead blast on the plate and run itIf it's in the budget for new, of course that's better...

If there are no ridges and its flat, I use a die grinder with a sanding disc and just rough it up. Also do this on flywheels and NEVER had a problem,

Ditto on the bead blasting.

"The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
-- Alexis de Tocqueville
"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
--Ayn Rand
"To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."
-- Justice Antonin Scalia
would a sandblast not work the same with a very fine sand?
Why? sand, clean with brake cleaner and your done.Originally Posted by W.P._Turbocars
