lilj Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I'm replacing the clutch and flywheel on my 280zx.. I bought the car for like 200$. Drove it around a while and you could tell that the clutch was making a little bit of noise when not clutched in (idle). I didn't think about the clutch rubbing on the flywheel at the time. *don't know jack shit about cars lol* .. so basically I was driving around one day and left a red light when I heard a loud pop and all of the sudden my tach went straight to 6k. *clutch wasnt engaging* .. it proceeded to give me more shit and then I pulled into a parking lot. It still drives around and what not.. just really freaking loud (higher rpm, louder noise.) It goes into gear just fine and everything *sometimes it slips a bit* but not badly at all. I took her home immediately and left it. A few of my friends have told me the clutch probably tore up the flywheel. Would that be correct? Assuming so I decided to go ahead and get a new clutch and flywheel. The *While I'm at it* syndrome got me.. so I'm thinking of buying the fidanza alum flywheel -- found it for 320 shipped. I was also looking at a SPEC stage II clutch for 330 shipped. I've seen a few people say you can't use certain flywheels with certain clutches and what not.. I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is/isn't let me know Also I've heard a few things about how the lightweight flywheel messes with the *drivability* .. havn't seen any specifics but if anyone knows exactly how this affects it, please lemmy know If any of you guys have any alternate suggestions for parts, or places to get it cheaper.. or know what I believe to be the problem is not.. pleeeease say so. I'd like to get this done weekend after this. >scared of the mighty search button< =D thanks guys -jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilj Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Ok, searched a bit.. found some of my answers. Anyone got any ideas on a clutch? I see good things about SPEC & ACT, and a lot of people with diff opinions on the flywheel.. how its better to have stock, better to have lite, etc etc. Would it be a good idea for a car that is going to be driven around town, to work, etc.. and occassional racing? =P thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
