Im replacing the clutch on the G60 and I dont know keep the stock or put a light flywheel (steel or alloy) with out knowing the ads/dis-ads. Anybody know ?
basic advantage of a lightened flywheel is to allow a quicker rev....less weight to push around therefore more hp for the right foot to use..this is it basically....alloy will have a steel face as the pressure plate/ clutch plate will I thought mince one pretty quick.....disadvantage is the thinner the flywheel the quicker it heats up ..faster wear rate....I hope it makes a bit of sense...oh yer less mass at the flywheel causes hills to be felt a little earlier
The G60 flywheel is exactly the same as the ABF one. It weighs about 22lbs and is stupidly heavy.Originally Posted by aussieg60
I've had mine lobbed back to 12.5lbs. Make sure someone reputable does it, though, as if it's imbalanced, you're motor will go up **** creek pretty quick.
If the material is removed from the right place, it will mean the factory TDC mark is cut off, though, so MAKE SURE IT IS MARKED BACK ON AND NOT WITH A BLOODY TEXTA!!!!!!
here's a pic of mine:
I was thinking of a fidanza or autotech flywheel. Anybody know about these types ?
hey Valver does mum know that flywheel is on her good chair,
