Bad side to flywheel?

[kevdog240]

Quote »If you lighten the flywheel or put a thinner aftermarket one on youll have to replace the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder in time because the thinner flywheel screws up the compression of the master and slave cylinders and they wear out quicker. When i got my clutch they had to take an 1/8 an inch off my flywheel and that happened to me.[/quote]

i saw this while i was looking around one last time before getting my flywheel and clutch. what do you guys think about the fidenza flywheel? is it worth the purchase? are there any other problems with it? i found it for 299.00 shipped so i want to jump on this before i lose it unless there is some reason not to.also, i was reading someone that said that drag cars dont want to use lightened flywheels cause of the loss in torque at the launch? so which is more important then, the launch or the quicker rev'in engine for spool up? i would think quicker rev'in.....

I have seen that issue with a DSM.

The reason people need to start replacing master and slave cylinders is when you upgrade the clutch to like and ACT2600

Becuase the clutch has such a high pressure plate it causes them to go out if they were already old.
