I've changed out a bunch of clutches over the years and most times it was to replace a throw-out bearing that had started to squall. Too much left foot resting on the clutch pedal!!! Have always added a new disc just as a precaution. If the flywheel has "blue spots" on it you know there was some heavy usage but never saw one that was totally burned out on a street vehicle.

I've noticed the trend to couple a new replacement disc to a new pressure plate and T/O bearing. Really drives the price up a bunch and unless you spring for a flywheel cleanup, is sorta like putting on clean clothes without a shower!!! Ain't progress great?
