Default My new TILTON 8lb Flywheel

So here's the latest toy going on my car today or tomorrow. I had the stock, went to the Nismo and now I want to try this latest toy. The flywheel is only 8 lb's and the disc/plate assy only adds another 8 lb's. So here's the break down:
Flywheel/Plate/Disc.
Stock: 46lb's
Nismo: 38lb's
Tilton: 16lb's.
I'll give a review in a day or so when it's done.

I couldn't wait. Been out in the shop for the last few hours but I need to go home so we'll finish tomorrow. For now I'm keeping the Nismo Flywheel/Clutch in my office pending my review.

I'll put you first on the list in case Jeff decides to sell.

Isn't a clutch that small going to have a higher clamping force to make up for the smaller diameter and place a high load on the parts to disengage it? Looks nice though..

Looks like a double disk........shouldn't there be another piece?


I LIKE

I can't wait for the review.

Knowing Tilton's reputation, it must be good!

If you're pretty handy with trannies and have a lift then it can be a DIY job. However, if you're just using a jack stand and don't have a helper with you then doing your own tranny work can be a *****. I'm having nightmares of helping my pop put trannies in cars. Not fun at all...

Not a dumb question, it just depends on how mechanically inclined you are.

I would have a dealer install it.
