so when i got new tires put on the mechanic said that my flywheel is messed up, he had a 93 'for he wrecked and said its bad. i don tknow if hes ripping me off, but hes 20 something and has done a lot of modding to his car. i was wondering, anyone had a bad flywheel? cus i think he says its bad cus the clutch feels "lumpy" or "wobbly".
is this guy bull ****ting me?
if he isnt i want to get a fidanza flywheel but not sure where to go to get one
TIA

 

some help please

 

The flywheel may need to be resurfaced. Have it done the next time you replace your clutch.

 

my clutch is like 5 months old apparently, but if i change the flywheel, i'll find out how good the clutch is

 

Apart from what the mechanic said, what makes you think the flywheel needs to be replaced? I am assuming the clutch was replaced before you bought the car. If there was a problem with the flywheel at that time, in all likelihood, it would have been remedied. I would be inclined to ignore the mechanic, unless there truly are problems when you shift.

 

well, for one shot engine mounts thats a problem, two slipping the clutch out gives this slow very obvious vibration, launching nothing, if you dont give enough gas into first though, its very very obvious shaking the entire car

 

anyone know if what the hell the mechanic told me is legit?

 

Who knows? Get the motor mounts fixed and go from there.

 

yeah, should i go to nissan or just a mechanic place?

 

Don't go to Nissan for anything. Avoid them like the plague. They are all money grubbing leeches and their chargeout rates are excessive. Find a reputable, reliable shop that isn't too fancy and specializes in Japanese cars.

You're paying the overhead when you go to a stealership. Plus they ding you for shop supplies which is a % of the bill and is utter nonsense!

 

thanks my dad wanted me to go there, but i wasnt sure, stay away from the blood suckers then

 

Like I said, unless money is no object. You should be able to find a reputable shop whose chargeout rate is only about 2/3 or 3/4, at most, of what the stealership charges.

 

okay thanks man
