what flywheel do i have?

evan717 · 07-20-2005, 05:48 PM

hey i just ripped off my trans and the flywheel is mangled to all hell. I need to get a new friction surface but i dont know what aftermarket brand flywheel i got. The aluminum is blue and the friction plate is held on with 1/8 inch hex bolts with maybe a 10mm nut on the other side. both the friction surface and the starter teeth ring is replaceable too. in desperate need of my car so pleaseee help

Sounds like a clutchmaster's flywheel.

I've one, its blue. I dunno about the hex bolts, etc. I know the friction plate is replacable, etc.

Fidanza isn't replacable, not that. JWT is, but its not blue. I'd put my money on the clutchmasters (clutchbastards)

very carefully.

or by searching for directions. They're here. I'm too lazy to tell you.

Fidanza's friction surface is replaceable and so is JWT's .. get your facts right

evan717 · 07-21-2005, 08:07 PM

well i called clutchmasters and he said it wasnt it because he puts like 16 bolts in his friction surface and i only have 10...also i looked around for info on how to post pics buuut no luck.....please help THANKS

You sure? I thought Fidanza was a reversable plate.

JWT was made for resurfacing?

OooOooOoOo. If they're replacable, nice!

LaRocca Racing · 07-21-2005, 11:25 PM

i counted the ones on my old clutch masters and it was 16....i looked on jwt site and counted 20 on his....

evan717 · 07-22-2005, 10:35 AM

AHHH this SUCKS....well clutchmasters said they'd do a custom app for $104 but to go to cali and backs gonna be a bitch.....probably gonna call jgy just cause theyre so close.....any input id greatly appreciate

Yes Im sure.. Ive replaced mine twice....

The whole reversible myth is f-ckin ignorant!! people dont realize the screws that hold the plate down are countersunk as to not make contact with the disk and shear off right?
Well then that would mean the plate would be countersunk on both sides leaving a next to nothing thickness for the screw to hold down the surface.

When you buy the Fidanza replacements they come in packs of 2. They range anywhere from $90-120.

The JWT is basically the same design.

They can both be resurfaced if you wanted to, but i dont think they can be turned too much. For safety's sake i would just replavce the contact plate....
