80LS1T Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Here's some pics of my T56 flywheel and Center Force Dual Friction clutch. It started to chatter after about 500 miles of driving and it only got worse as time when on. When I resurfaced the flywheel it had some hot spots on it but I was too cheap to get a new one. Since after the machining they were gone I figured it would be ok ...now I wish I had bought a new flywheel! Now I have to buy a new clutch set up and a new flywheel! Big pic of clutch discAlmost to the rivets! Big pic of flywheelGot hotspots! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Looks bad, any cracking? I once had a parts yard send me a flywheel with lots of little hair line cracks in it, the surface looked very much like yours. I made sure to get a re-surfaceable one to replace it. Looking on ebay you could probably get one from $25-$200 + shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Looks like one of my old flywheels. This just gives you a chance to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I've seen several CFDF setups (mine included) make hot spots on the flywheel like you've got. I think you should change brands when getting a new clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Looks to me like you should re-consider your clutch choice. A properly operating and installed clutch should never have that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 Oh a CFDF will not be going back in! It had pretty good holding power but the clutch chatter drove me nuts! It wasnt just a little it made it sound like my motor was going to drop a rod through the oil pan when the cluch pedal wasnt pressed in! What are you guys recommendations? I priced out the LT4 set up today at work.....its about $750 for a disc, PP, flywheel, and throw out bearing. Its too high if you ask me for a stock set up. I have been looking at the SLP and Spec stage 2/3 set ups. Any experiences with these? Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I personally went and had robin @ superior friction build me a clutch. I'll be straight honest with you tho. The clutch I now have in the car is holding, but the first 2 clutches he sent me were worthless. So I got a clutch at an awesome price...put I pulled the tranny 3 times. I'm not sure he really believed me when I told him the hp and torque numbers I was aiming for. I'll just leave things at that. If you're interested, do a search for his website or e-mail me and I can get his phone number for you. If you're familiar with Jeffp's 280zxt, he did the clutch for that car too.
