so im ordering my new clutch and flywheel this weekend. My question is can i use a 5th gen clutch setup with a 4th gen fidanzaflywheel. also is there any other lightweight flywheels to consider and how does the car drive with the lighter flywheel.
anyone have any experiences with this setup?
and is this a good setup to have or is there better?

hey thanks a lot. i think ill just get the stock flywheel resurfaced then. neway where is the best place to buy the 5th gen setup?

 

Well, I am currently a Noob on this site, so I can't search or anything. So, I'm gonna rack up using this.


Pertaining to the flyhweel question, is the Vq an internally or externally balanced motor? That's something to take into consideration, if changing the weight of the flywheel alter the balance ratio of your motor, I would not reccomend doing so. It's just a risk, and keep in mind, launching your car will require more RPM due the loss of momentum through rotational mass.

I have it, and just like everyone said, I got flywheel chatter. In first gear only, the flywheel bucks the car a little. So, to alleviate the problem, I have to give it a little more gas than usual. Problem solved. If your a diehard and you want every pony possible, and you don't mind sacrificing some driveability, then go for it. Keep in mind that it will be cheaper to install it now rather than later since you're doing your clutch. Also, the fewer the times the tranny comes apart, the better. Everyone's starting problems are all tranny related, and show a direct correlation with tranny work being done to starting problems occuring.

The Max is not my DD, so I chose to get it since I had to replace my slipping OEM clutch when I added the SC, and I want every pony possible.

Donate $20 and you'll be able to search. Try the free search option too. You'll see a ton of old threads on this topic.

 

I've seen BMW racers with ATF in the manual tranny. But I don't know how if it works well with our cars.

fluid ideas!?!?
anyone!!!

 

fill your transmission with...

Redline MT-90
or
Amsoil MTG

There both ONLY GL-4 rated.. do NOT get anything GL-5 or a multi grade fluid that says GL-3-4-5 or whatever....

 

gl4 rated red line is my choice

 

does anyone know how many quarts of gear oil is needed, and where to buy it from cheapest?

 

talk to talkinghorse in the group deal section. Great customer service and the cheapest. He knows how many quarts you need. I think it's like 4-5 qts. He'll tell ya. I bought my Amsoil from him.
