Shoot, i just had the FS flywheel put in (i love it soooo much

) and i was lookin at the old one, im so glad that i changed it, it has sooo much play, it can twist about a half an inch clockways and counter-clockways and tilt about an inch front to back. i cant see how it doesnt smoke clutches all the time, i personally recommend the FS flywheel

How does the new flywheel drive? Are launches from stop easier or less bogged down? Any noticable difference accelerating at highway speed? Glad you seem to be enjoying it.

Thanks

The whole thing feels alot stronger. im using a stock clutch and it seems to stick a little better to this flywheel, my peddle is way down by the floor when it grabs and it seems to pull harder, not so noticable at about 70, but low end you can really tell. it could be just me, but the engine feels alot more willing to accelerate and feels like it bogs a bit less off the line. it seems to have taken all of the "play" out of the drive train, for instance, on the freeway when i let off then step on it before there was kinda a hange time and felt a little jerk, that is all gone now. the total i spent was 1100, that includes flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, tob/slave cylinder, labor, and an $80 dollar bottle of synthetic clutch fluid

. i feel like it was well worth the money i spent
