Hey guys i just got this today:

just waiting for my clutch to arrive!


well, i just wanted to know the torquing specs for the flywheel and the clutch...anyone know what they are???

 

Very nice. What clutch are you getting?

 

I believe you torque to specs. Are you saying you need that info? Search around, I think someone posted the pages from the service manual.


FYI: That flywheel, though I love it, can be a pain some times. I usually stall once a month doing the rush hour stop and go.

 

Flywheel bolt specs: 72 +/- 3 ft-lb

Bolts to secure the transmission to the block specs: 36 +/- 4 ft-lb

Clutch pressure plate specs: 14 +/- 2 ft-lb

 

How did you stall it? Did the rpm drop to fast?

I need a new clutch pretty soon and was thinking about getting a lighten flywheel, but I don't want to get it if there's stalling issues.

I used to have a car with a lighten flywheel and every time I came to a stop, the RPM would drop too fast and causes the car to stall. Does this problem exist in the Evo?

 

Correct, the rpm drops faster.

I think this combined with ACT clutch give me a greater chance of stalling out.


And I don't have any problems with idle, just that it's pretty decent difference that the stock clutch and flywheel. I've gotten more used to it over time.

And just that I'm clear, this has nothing to do with a problem with the car and the flywheel. It's all in my driving.

 

This happens on any car with a lightweight flywheel. The reduced weight and inertia causes RPMs to raise and lower with greater ease and sometimes will go too low on deceleration.

 

Well I'm planning to upgrade my clutch to the ACT street clutch and the street light flywheel.

Am I going to have to stalling problem?

 

Im getting the exedy oem for now...clutch was slipping really bad and needed to be replaced! Im probably going to get an act six-puck once i go turbo!!!


thanks for the torquing specs!!!

 

alright guys im going to pick up my clutch tomorrow! i ended up getting an ACT-Heavy duty-street disc...the exedy oem one was on backorder and i've already waited for a month, and they want me to wait another 2wks, sucks but it allowed me to dish out the xtra cash for the ACT kit!!! Hopefully i'll install these this weekend!!!

 

get it on yet?

 

im thinking about the same set up so lemme know how it works for ya

 

has it been two weeks?
