You get over the noise. The improvement in responsiveness is well worth it. The stock dual mass flywheel is a POS.

Oh hell no. That asshat should be legally barred from working on people's cars. He's a dishonest hack.

:iagree:

I'd just assume set my car on fire than let Bobby touch it.

I need to find a reputable place to get the work done here in Tampa Bay... I wish I could just drop it off at JTRAN.
I would contact Forge Performance in Atlanta about using Endless gear oil. I hear it's really good and cuts down on the fly wheel chatter. If you are will to drive Forge is a great shop to work with.

Well then... that escalated quickly....

how about about Induction Performance? Found them on the ECUTEK website...

Give Joe at ZSpeed a call. I'm pretty sure he's got an option to keep the flywheel chatter down even if you upgrade from the stock flywheel.

You guys are a bunch of pushy Mofo's - you know that? :shakes head:

I'll be ordering the Z1 clutch/flywheel package. :driving: Found a shop local to me that has some good reviews and I just stopped by to check it out. Looks clean, rates were reasonable, and most importantly, there were a lot of REALLY nice cars around (Benz's, a G35, bunch of Porches and Bimmers, etc).

:icon17:

I think you will be happy with the lightweight flywheel regardless of the chatter :D

^^^Agreed to yours and JAR's comments. It's because we don't want you to make the same costly mistakes we have!

Jon @ Z1 is recommending the 6-puck clutch for me. Do any of you guys have it? I fear it will be too grabby and make DD a little more painful. My girlfriend also needs to be able to drive and she isn't skilled with a manual.

You have less torque than I do so I think you'll be fine with the full face disk.

Hotrodz 01-08-2016 12:27 PM
This one of the reasons I recommend to people if you ate going to go fi have a second car to use when you need to work on your car or for computing if you have a lot of traffic to deal with. Yes a 6 puck is nothing like an oem clutch. It is grabber and the clutch pedal pressure is higher. It will take a little practice to get use to it and it will build calf and thigh muscles if you drive it a lot in traffic.

Also you may want to consider the SpecialtyZ Street Max clutch. I know they have improved it and it is a full face clutch as well. I had one before upgrading to the 6 puck. The chatter is less and it works pretty close to oem. You can also either change out your clutch helper spring to a less stiff one or remove it completely and that will help you with the feel of the pedal. I have had mine removed for two years with no problems.

Yep.. I am going to go with the full face. Jon's concern was if I would be doing any power shifting and... seeing as how I have never power shifted before in my life, it doesn't seem that I will be starting now. I don't really abuse my cars... again.. 75 year old man in a 34 year old body. =)

Don't mean to be a smart a$$ but why did you go FI then?

Think I'm going Clutchmasters if I ever have to upgrade. Which I guess will be soon after E85 upgrade.
