so im going to be putting my new clutch back in soon... heres my question...

my flywheel looked pretty good when i took it out. it did have some hot spots on it but no cracks or anything really bad. i brought it to a machine shop by my house that does all my work. they didnt resurface it, but they just crosshatched it to break the glazing and spotting.

i've read all over the forum about how it cant be resurfaced, and it has to be replaced. I've also come across threads where guys say they just got it machined..... soo... does it even really matter???
