I had a shop install the clutch and flywheel. After receiving my car, it threw a SES light for cam sensor and felt very sluggish on startup and during driving. I posted this problem in a different thread yesterday here( https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...backfires.html ) but I am now almost completely certain that the flywheel is misaligned. What is the proper way of installing the flywheel? The DIY for the clutch/flywheel replacement states to mark the location of the flywheel when taking it off, but I do not completely understand this process. What exactly is being marked and which marks are you supposed to align when putting on the new flywheel? Since the new lightened flywheel has been installed, how would you realign the flywheel correctly now? Do you need to put the old flywheel back on to mark things? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will be returning to the shop this Monday to hopefully get it fixed and would like to get a better understanding on things. Thanks!

use the small Fylwheel hole on the right of the fylwheel, this hole shuold face the small hole on the crank side.


and allso check the crank sensor, maybe it has some problem after opning it, soime times it happens.

 

Thanks! Do these instructions pertain to all lightened flywheels? I have the flywheel that came in the Competition Clutch package.

 

yep, all the flywheels should have this small hole on the right, this way the crank sensor will read the timing correctly.

 

I hope your installer is doing as much research as you are. I mean they got paid to do the job.

 

^ that is true ... I've been without my car the entire weekend and I just want some ease of mind. I hope the car will be back to normal by tomorrow

 

ya gl bro... keep us posted bc I just ordered by CC stage 4 clutch Friday.

 

in kuwait all the shops dont know that the flywheel net to be setup

wehave more stuped ppl then u guys , but 88% of them are pakistany or indians

 

Just to update... I got the car back a few hours ago. The flywheel was misaligned like I suspected. It runs beautiful now... just need get use to the shifting now

 

good

 

Very cool. Sucks they didnt know to align it right. Give us a call if you need anything, we arent too far away.
