lightweight flywheel good or bad?

binary0x01 · 07-20-2014, 05:02 PM

I'm going with Specialty Z clutch/flywheel combo as next mod.

Wana get the wheels/tires done before or after... but those two are at top of the list.

Don't know if I wanna put the flywheel in myself. How much does a shop typically charge to do that?

I'd say $500 is a good estimate.

I wouldn't consider the install to be too difficult. The only place I ran into issues was putting the trans back on the car. It didn't want to just slide into place, like I had read. I had to get it as close as I could and then pull it in with the bolts.

It is a tedious install though. Removing the shifter and wiring harness before even being able to pull the trans just adds to the workload. Plus, the bolts can be hard to access.

Thanks Aszyd, good to know.
