So it's time for a new clutch I'm at 102k miles on a stock clutch, and I was looking at the Exedy stage 1 and the McLeod stage one, my question is do you think it's safe to have the flywheel resurfaced? And what all do I need. I know I need a throw out bearing because it has a little chatter, do I also need a new slave cylinder? And what does a shop usually charge to install this? Thanks for all the help guys!

 

With normal wear & tear you should be able to resurface the flywheel, but it will just have to be measured to make sure there's enough material to do so. When I did mine, I replaced the flywheel with the exedy steel one just to have something a little lighter in there.

I went with the exedy Mach 400 clutch (stage 1) and it's been great - Brenspeed sells it with the CSC included, which I recommend replacing while you have the trans out. Make sure to follow the break in period, as much as you want to put it through the paces, it will pay dividends once it's properly mated to the flywheel.

 

Cool thank you, but why would you want a lighter flywheel? I always thought a heavier flywheel whelk keep up the rpm's up, lighter will drop alot faster. But I see how a lighter flywheel will rev quicker

 

Light is good for track racing, heavy is good for drag racing

 

What's up you plug. I wanna run nitrous. Buy me the kit

 

I make good money, but I'm not ńigga rich

 

Bull**** I know you're holdin out on me. Track reopened this week. I'm goin Saturday night. Puttin the tires back on. Ill post my times. 12s or bust baby lol

 

How is the lighter flywheel in daily driving? Everyone seems to say thats the biggest drawback - that it can make stop and go traffic a real PITA

 

The billet steel flywheel I went with is 16lbs, stock is 23 I believe. It revs up quicker, (engaged or not) and you need to adjust to the difference in launching.

In daily driving the decreased inertia doesn't make much difference, I just engage a little differently so that I get on the gas more. It makes up for it in getting you up to your peak torque really quick (especially with 4.10's)

I like the flywheel, but for the money I'd probably just stick with stock if I was doing it over.
