Should i get a new Flywheel?

[ALPS]

Hi Guys,

Getting my clutch changed hopefully this week. Getting the Exedy HD for 710. I was wondering if i should change my Flywheel or not. Apparently it can help with the Gear Grinding. but also make around town driveability abit crap. Any Suggestions? I got a quote for an Exedy Flywheel from same place. 550. with installation about 1800 all up.

get it!

it won't help with your gear grinding but it will make your car rev up abit faster, that's if your getting a lighter one. and since your changing your clutch you might as well change the flywheel since your at it. If you don't you need to machine your stock flywheel anyway and also buy some new flywheel bolts.

pros : increased throttle response.

cons: decreased feel , stalls easily , "feels" slower unless you keep the revs up. Also makes car WORSE to drive normally IE around town. Crap in traffic.

If you are going for TRACK work occasionally - go for it. But if u want a daily driver with abit of hooning like normal , avoid a lightweight flywheel. I recently got one on a K20a - and around town i dont like it.

Why are you all talking about 'lightened' flywheels.

The OP doesn't mentioned 'lightened' in his post at all.

ALPs, if your flywheel is bad you should replace it rather than machine it. Our engines rev to 9000 rpm and the flywheels are case hardened (thin layer on outside). That said, I doubt your flywheel needs replacing. But I also seem to remember saying this exact same thing in another of your threads.

Trade off top end for bottom end.. Its not really a modification, more of a substitution..

Maybe i'll just leave it as is then. I thought it would help with shifting gears and the dodgey syncros the S2 has. i hate my gearbox feel extremely right now and i get jealous watching anyone else Shift there own manual car soo smoothly. i need to fix this

How bad are we talking? Just get a new Gearbox. There is an S2000 wrecking in Sydney. He's getting rid of whole front end and the Tran and Diff.

making a slight crunch or knock on nearly any gear change. the fill plug threading is gone and it's been liquid metalled in. my gearbox oil hasn't been checked or changed since i've had it. it's been almost 9 months now. sometimes wont select gear. i've got to play between gears till it goes into the one i need. i'm assuming maybe it's cos of the oil. i'm getting my clutch done this week hopefully. going to see if i can get the thread repaired and oil changed. see if it makes an improvement. Fingers crossed.

its cz u need to bleed the cylinder i believe and also top up fluid as i had that problem last week and its slides in gear with ease

a few weeks ago i had my master and slave cylinder replaced with oem and new fluid by Essnedon Honda. it's not that. lol everyone said it will be. but it changed nothing
