When I was rebuilding my motor, I decided to lighten the fatory flywheel(hey, saves some money) The maching shop actually took almost 9 lbs off of it so I was happy. Well, I'm pretty sure it weakened it and on Monday, it broke. I wasnt doing anything stressful on the car either. I was sitting at a red light and noticed that when I started to let the clutch out, I could feel the clutch petal shaking. I thought "eh, it'll be fine" Got into 3rd grear and I hear "whizzzzzzzzz... CLUNK" and the car dies. Wasnt quite sure what was going on so I pull off the road and try to restart the car. When I turned the key over, the motor didnt do anything. The starter was moving, but wasnt turning the motor over. GREAAAAAAAAAT So today, I yank the tranny out of my car to find that the flywheel had broken and in doing so, broke the flywheel sensor(hence the reason the car died)
Supposed to be like this...
Now looks like this...
So, just a lesson to self really: DONT BE A TIGHT ASS WHEN MODIFYING YOUR CAR!!!!!!
But as a bonus to myself, I got to see the Centerforce after many hard launches on the bottle and slicks, and I must say that it looks like its BRAND NEW. So I still dont see why so many people spend so much more on other clutches.
