new life pt.2

Hey wats gd members. Finally did my first motor swap, it wasn't hard just time consuming. Im planning on changing the clutch because I dnt kno the condition from the previous motor. I'm going wit a dual friction from centerforce. Do I need a new flywheel? Can I go oem or I cnt afford a lightened and what are the benefits of this set-up. Is the dual friction good?

You should check out a exedy stage 2 clutch, ive been beating on mine since august 2010 and it still grabs like brand new. As far as flywheels go im not sure

The transmission shop that just rebuilt mine said they were going to machine the face of the flywheel after installing the new clutch, but the center hole in the Maxima flyweel was a lot larger than they had centers for so they took it to another shop that does. The guy at that shop said these flywheels aren't machineable, have to get a new one. Don't know if he was giving me BS, but they have a good reputation. The new flywheel cost about $150

DO NOT go with a light weight fly wheel, they wear and break down so easy. better to go OEM and keep a thicker fly wheel.

Thank guys but why do we get lighter flywheels if they break down easily? Also which is the best way to put a new motor in. Attach the tranny and motor together or one at a time.. Thanx again members

Lightweigh flywheels dont breakdown and wear like this guys saying. Get a fidanza they are great and cheap for 5spd 4th gens. Best thing is instead of getting the flywheel machined when doing a clutch job, all you do is buy a new friction disk ($50).

You put the motor and trans in and pull it out as one piece, thats if your doing both. To do the clutch you drop the trans down.
