datsunan Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 this is what my Fidanza flywheel looks like. It has been slipping a bit in 4th gear but when it does i get off the gas so i would not think that i have been burning it up but thats what it looks like. Can these fw's be resurfaced? The disk is also messed up with pits in it like it is coming apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtmny1999 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 You can't resurface the flywheel but what you do is buy the friction Plate and replace it. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=126173 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunan Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I found a FAQ on fidanza web site they said it could be resurfaced but it would cost the same as replacing the disk. Its an xtd pp and disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 That pattern looks a lot like the pattern of the substance they put on to keep it from rusting while in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunan Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Its been a while but i think i used a de greaser befor installing it. I usually do anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 My guess: Flywheel and/or clutch surface were contaminated with something which later led to hot spots and pitting. It might have been the degreaser you used (was it water based?) Buy a new friction surface and clutch and use Acetone or Brake Clean to clean the flywheel. Wipe off any residue before assembly.

zxtman Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I found a FAQ on fidanza web site they said it could be resurfaced but it would cost the same as replacing the disk. Its an xtd pp and disk. ...looks like a clamping force problem. There have been issues with those clutches, particularly on ebay: you may want to investigate further and replace with a different press plate.

junglist Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 XTD the ebay clutch company? Those clutches are known to be complete junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunan Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 the xtd clutch actually held up better than the centerforce df clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I have a used set collecting dust somewhere that I can send you if you need...very easy to replace. They were in pretty good condition IICR, replaced them when I was installing my Spec II clutch kit just because...just pay for shipping.
