clutch and flywheel install problems

Post by **doctorj240** » Thu Sep 05, 2002 4:35 am

I decided to swap out my clutch for a spec stage 2 clutch and fidanza 11 lb flywheel last night. Unfortunately after everything was assembled it wouldn't start. We push started it and it ran beautifully but the damn thing won't start from a dead stop. Our guess is one of the sensors isn't connected or broken. If anyone has had this problem please help me out. I need to break it in so I can go race this weekend.

How was the flywheel?

It's great. The engine revs faster and launches are better because of less inertia. I think that makes sense doesn't it? With both the clutch and flywheel I probably picked up .2 sec on the quarter mile which is pretty respectable. Overall I'm very happy.

Does the engine turn over and not catch or it does nothing? If it does nothing you probably forgot to hook the starter back up, since push starting the transmission turns the flywheel to crank the engine. Thats my two cents.

It ended up being that the clutch switch was being pushed down or something. All we had to do was adjust the clutch pedal position and it fired right up.

How is the performance with the flywheel? Should I get one? does it make it hard to drive? does it get worse gas milage?
