I got my clutchmasters flywheel finally and the first thing i did was check to se if it would pair up with the pressure plate and to my great releif it did. Woo! CM FW-103-3al + act mr1-hdg6 = great success

 

Well first problem I ran into aside from my other problems my flywheel bold from the stock flywheel don't fit and none came with it so ima have to go buy bolts somewhere. Also how do you take the tranny apart I gotta replace my input shaft bearing and I can't get it apart. I took out all the Bolts around the outside and the two on the inside ive pryed and pryed so am i missing something

 

What flywhel did you get? I just got my clutchmasters flywheel in. Let me know the specs on the bolts so i know in advance. Thanks.

 

Its the eclipse 4g69 one FW-103-3al. The bolt are a quarter inch shorter they fit just not allthe way and there isnt much head room for the bolts so any bolts with a larger head will hit the clutch. I'm worried still when theyre in that small flat piece of metal(i guess its more of a retainer) might make them touch. Right now i have no idea where to even get bolts and clutch master didn't send any with the flywheel and I dunno what o'riellys or some where could do.

 

Anyone else have this issue? I wish ra on lsd would chime in. Maybe the eclipse bolts.

 

I had the same issue when I bought my Fidanza flywheel. I had to get new bolts.

 

Where can I get the bolts. also how do i gey the tranny apart to get To my input shaft bearings out . i took all the bolts around the outside and the two inside the clutch housing but I still cant get it apart o

 

on the end of the transmission there's a black plastic cap about an inch and a half around, stab a screw driver into it and pop it off, under that is a medium sized snap ring that holds the end of the output shaft to the transmission case. you remove that and you will hear the input shaft drop, also you should have already removed all other bolts excluding fill and drain, and the shifter linkage thing has to come off as well...

 

Ok, so i cant find any specs on flywheel bolts. Does anyone know if the eclipse 4g69 and lancer 4g69 are the same flywheel bolts or different lengths? I cant find any specs online, maybe i'll call the dealer tomorrow to see if they are the same part numbe. Im really hoping to put my clutch and flywheel in soon but dont want to run into problems.

 

Lancer 4G69 flywheel bolt = MD368638 M12x15.5mm
Eclipse 4G69 flywheel bolt = MD368638 M12x15.5mm

Looks the same to me. Get your car back together.

 

Thx ill get at it tomorrow. Anyone know a good place tk get thos3 flywheel o riellys had some grade fives but i didnt think they be strong enough

 

Let me know the specs on the bolts you get please. I dont want any problems. Thanks.

 

i wouldn't put grade 5's on a flywheel. not sure the specs of them though, as i am reusing mine.

 

I went through this TODAY. I couldnt get mine apart for NOTHING. Is it difficult to put back together?


As for the other issues floating around...

Eclipse flywheel WILL fit. Im running one now.
What is the issue with the bolts? What is wrong with the stock ones out of the flywheel?

NOT a fan of ACT. Ive owned a stage 3 AND a stage 1. Stage 3 gave me all kinds of issues. The stage 1 seems to be ok but the throw out bearings with both made noise.

 

Well the bolts will catch but they like about a quarter of an inch to reaching as far as with the stock flywheel, So im just getting some a lil longer. As for the clutch I've had it for months. Waiting on the flwheeel and everything else i got but that ever since I got that's all I have heard I'm just staying optimistic about it.
