I feel like an *** asking this question, but the archive search is disabled.

Since it looks like I may be getting a new throw-out bearing, I figure I'll get the flywheel replaced at the same time.
Sooo:

1. Whats the "best" flywheels?

2. Is it okay to just replace the flywheel, and leave the stock pressureplate and clutch?

 

1)My vote goes for CM...though I'm tempted to try the new ACT ones

2)Yes...but might as well change it since dropping the tranny is not that fun.

 

And you should.

Yeah...

 

The new xact flywheel is purddy... installed one this weekend. I like it so far

 

TODA. Not only is it chromoly, but there have been no starter gear teeth problems, and the weight on Toda flywheels is towards the center. Before buying any flywheel, read the info in this link http://www.todaracing.com/topics/art...el_design.html

 

for the money/overall

Clutchmasters, Fidanza, period.

 

which would lead me to believe ACT got it right this time.....

 

ACT unit just showed up at my office, it looks great. Should have it in within a week or so.

1. I think comptech chromoly. I love mine.
2. Only if the clutch is newer. If its worn do it all at one time.

P.S. Don't be cheap!

 

So far I'm happy w/ my fidanza, but "best" could be interpreted many different ways.....

 

toda definitely gets my

 

I love my comptech chromoly flywheel but if Leo at jdmspecperf.com was open when i was looking for a new flywheel, I would have purchased the Spoon Flywheel because 4.2kg and it was/and still is on sale for 340 Shipped.

 

I liked the CM/Fidanza flywheel because it has a replaceable friction surface. It's lighter than the ACT and costs only 30 dollars or so more.

But if you really want Chromoly those ACTs are quite a bargain at half the price of the JDM flywheels...

If your clutch has been recently changed, don't bother. But if you're somewhat close, then just swap it out. I hate dropping the tranny...

 

ClutchMasters. Made by Fidanza but with user replaceable friction plate (my Fidanza has rivots, the CM has screws).

Had mine for 2 years or more now, love it.

 

Mine too!

 

with my comptech 6.75lb flywheel, if I left of the gas fast, and dont let the rev's drop smoothly, the engine will fall on its face and stall. there is not enough enertia to have the engine keep going.

I have heard of 1 or 2 other people. Is there anyone else with this problem?

 

what if you have a jdm motor w/ the jdm starter? which flywheel to use then?

 

CM 7.5lbs

 

Why not having the oem wheel worked ? I let mine reduce from stockweight to 5kg for no money in no time and luv it.

 

personally for the money (ie "best") i would say Clutchmasters...along with their stage 3 clutch kit also

 

Odd. My fidanza has screws. Maybe the older version used rivots?

 

Here is a ClutchMasters FW. Had it for a while and I loved it. Was pretty cheap too.

I also ran the stock clutch and pressure plate on it.

I haven't had that problem on my car. I'm really liking my comptech AL flywheel.

 

The best one EVER is the new ACT prolite b/c I bought one

 

I have Toda flywheel. No complaints.
