For those that have replaced their clutch did you replace the flywheel? If not how much better does it fee?l and for anyone who saw their stock flywheel while replacing was it in pretty good shape even though the clutch wasn't?

Basically what I want to know is I have the cash for a clutch but not the flywheel should I go ahead and replace it or save for the flywheel?

 

bump... I know someone here has replaced their clutch.

 

You dont have to replace the fly wheel man. But you do need to resurface the stock one befor you put it all back together.
You will need tp have this done buy a shop. Just take it off and take in and they can do it for you. Call around and find out who can do it first. Should only be about 75 bucks to have it done.

Later.

 

Not to steal the thread, but Do you definitly need a lift to install the clutch??

 

No. I removed the whole engine\tranny without a lift but you do want some strong tall jacks stands.

 

Any ideas on a price for instalation and flywheel resurfacing? Just need a ballpark idea don't want to get ripped off.

 

Ya id like to get a price on that also .

 

Id say 75 or so for the flywheel and about 600-800 for the install.
Thats going to depend one where you live. Big city is more expensive then a small town.
But every shop hase there own rates so youll have to call them and ask.

I payed 600 labor for the Stage3+ and fidanza flywheel install. My stock clutch and flywheel looked pretty bad...hot spots. I would of had to get my flywheel resurfaced, but didn't. Overall performance the car feels much quicker since the power is now transfering to the ground. Technically you don't need the flywheel, but the difference of the light weight flywheel feels awesome...its also better to pay one labor charge.

 

do you feel that its harder for daily driving use with a lighter flywheel?

 

At first it took a couple days for me to get used to, other than that I think it is fine for everyday driving. It not harder its just a little differrent pedal response since the pressure plate bites hard now.

 

how is getting out of first gear? do rpms rise and drop considerably faster or just a lil faster?

 

this should be an interesting topic... cuz i have some similar questions

 

How exactly does a lighter flywheel change driving capability?
