Paddles last for around 25000 miles and obliterate flywheels so if you need a new clutch you'll 100% need a new flywheel or the original skimming providing it's not been skimmed to high heaven in the past.

You need to buy the whole clutch AND have your flywheel skimmed.
If you miss any part out, you'll be doing the job again soon.
Also, they aren't indestructible. If I get a year out of a clutch, I'm chuffed.
