In my mopar shop manuel it states not to under any circumstances to
resurface the flywheel. I just cleaned it up real well. The dual friction
I put in has good holding power, but the clutch pedal feels like a freaking
import mow. The clutch petal with the stock clutch in my 96 is allmost 3x
as stiff as the 93 with the dual friction set up
