I'd put that disc back in. It doesn't look very worn, as long as it's not warped, and the flywheel and pressure plate don't have excessive marking from heat (and nothing you can feel, running your hand over).

If you know anyone who has air tools, or does body work, have them hit the pressure plate and flywheel with a DA. If you can't find the hot spots with your eyes closed, it's good (for this, anyway).

I actually do body work and have a da, what grit would you go over it with? And what’s the difference between going over it with a da or getting it resurfaced? Im guessing its basically the same thing, giving the clutch a fresher surface to bite into?
