I bought a fidanza light weight aluminum flywheel and an act stage 2 clutch.





While taking out my trans I found that I had a broken rear motor mount. So I bought energy suspension front and rear motor mounts from cattman.





I am also replacing the clutch master slave stainless steel clutch line axle seals and the rear main seal.

 

The main reason im doing this is because in the morning when I would go to start my car when I push in the clutch and start the car the clutch pedal would stay down on the ground and I would have to let the car sit for about 10 mins before the clutch so to say built up pressure. Also if I got on the car and was shifting fast when I would push in the clutch it would make like a grinding/humming noise. Also if I drove a long distance while driving the clutch would lose all pressure and would fall flat to the floor.

 

How much did u buy the fidanza flywheel and from where?

 

stock flywheel. (what are the heat spots on there from?)




clutch




pressure plate

 

some of the "fingers" are bent

 

 

Let us know how the Aluminum flywheel works out. When they first appeared people were getting some starter grinding due to problems with poor ring gear engagement, I believe. I curious to see if the problem has really been fixed?!....It's an upgrade I'm interested in doing as well.

 

well I would love to tell you how it works but I cant get the stock flywheel off I striped one of the 14mm bolts and I have no clue how to get it off

 

You can get a craftsman extractor from Sears. They will definitely have that size. It looks like a normal socket, excepts it grabs onto strip bolts like yours.

 

Not correct for 2000-2001 5-speeds.

Our cars do not have the grinding problem as 5.5 does. I'm pretty much running same setup as asoundlab except for an ACT stage 1 clutch.

 

Sorry, my bad, I wasn't looking at the year of his car.

 

Fidanza has since been able to rectify the issues. It had something to do with an incorrectly sized ring gear. I think the ring gear was initially too small and had less teeth that it was supposed to. Derrick2k2SE has a Fidanza on his 2002 and was the one who worked with them to get this corrected.

 

How are you going to install the motor mounts?? any way someone could check if they are broken without taking it apart?? thanks! sick trunk BTW.

 

you have to press the old one out and then press in the new one. you can put the car on a lift or jack it up and look at them and see if they are broken.

 

is there a bad ouput shaft seal? im guessing for pass side axle. or is there just oil making it look bad?

 

ya one of the seals is broken it didnt leak there but I can replacing it

 

thought i saw that. was it broken before or was it a victim of this project?

 

its not really broken its torn and it was like that before the project.
