I'm a noob and trying to learn about the internals of the transmission.

I have a JDM b18c w/lsd and need to change out the clutch before the swap and wanted to know what I'm buying and why so I can graduate to less of a noob.

Any good sites or links that explains what a clutch, flywheel, how many lbs a clutch should be, the differences, etc?

Thanks,
Jon

 

You'd help me too!

 

Buy the closest you can get to an OEM clutch while still being able to hold the power you're making with a little margin for safety. a 6 puck clutch on a stock daily driver does absolutely nothing for you besides give you a sore leg if you drive in traffic, It's also going to be hard on diffs and final drives and it's not going to last well compared to a full face organic unit.

As far as flywheels go, a lighter flywheel lets the engine rev up quicker, on the other hand it's easier to stall and the RPMs drop quicker as well. Most people will agree that a heavy OEM flywheel works better for boost though. Lightweight is more suited to NA.
