IS there more then one type of CA flywheel, I pulled mine off and it was pretty light comparied to the new one i got. It was also shaped differnt my old one was shaped like the toda flywheel. The new one i got used is flat on both sides and weighs a hell of alot.

so what. the ring gear is separate on stock flywheels. take them off both flywheels and put the good one one the good flywheel. heat it up and seat the ring..probably easier said than done but can be done.

thats the thing i think i had a toda flywheel and didn't know it, and it's all chewed up, i got a stock one, and it sucks to go from something so nice and light to something that weighs almost double, makes me wanna just push start the car and say hell with the ring gear jk
