So I'm looking to get a new clutch for my '08 SS/TC. A stage 3 KY from TTR is $530 w a TOB... not bad @ all, but then I call my local Chevy dealer to get a quote on a flywheel... WTF!!! $713.64!!!! I don't want to have the trans pulled to replace the clutch, and just resurface the flywheel. Resurfacing feels a l'il half- assed to me when it comes to the trans so... Can I get some help on where to look for a flywheel plz!!

 

i got a OEM one from zzp when i did mine

 

Order the Lsj flywheel from ced

 

Resurfaced mine. It was fine. But ZZP sells OEM flywheels. Im sure other vendors do as well

 

why do a lsj?????

Anyways, go to zzp and they have oem flywheels for $120

 

What causes you to feel as though refacing a flywheel is half assing it?

 

This. I don't know how they offer them so cheap, but they do.

 

i can get OEM for $90 i think it was. thank you grandfather. my base total clutch and flywheel was $280

 

have a clutchmasters flywheel im selling

 

They are different fyi for those that don't know.

 

^^That was always my understanding as well. Otherwise, why sell them as a lnf or lsj specific flywheel?

 

^^^ lol. I have an LNF. Didn't think an LSJ flywheel would work. Thanks for all the info so far.

 

I asked the same question about the TOB. I never got a good answer, btw.

 

i have a question, why is the zzp oem so cheap?

 

Pretty sure zzp sells clutches that are either pulled from cars they work on, or they get them at cost and just don't mark them up like dealerships do..

Either way, zzp was the route I went when I installed my Spec 3+ and I am pleased with my decision.

 

I don't know and I don't care

 

lol, no, they are new flywheels.

 

why are they so cheap compared to every other place u can find em?

 

you can just machine yours. It really is no difference

 

^^what he said.

So do you insist on replacing your rotors with every brake job too?

if there is nothing wrong with the friction surface, there is no reason why machining it won't suffice - all you're doing is cutting it down to make the surface perfectly flat again... same idea as turning a rotor.
The only time where replacing the flywheel is necessary is when it has been cut enough times to put it out of spec ~ thereby placing the clutch assembly closer to the rear of the block, and far enough that the TOB won't be able to do it's job...
