Just a few questions, im a machinist by trade and I was wondering if anyone has had there flywheel turned rather than ground???? And is it worth lightening it or do you lose too much torque?? One last question, what is the go with the friction modifier or additive that goes in the gearbox or is that just the diff if so where do you get it, and what oil do people use, does anyone differ from castrol syntrans. thanks I look forward to all replies.

I had an extreme clutch (which is almost the same thing) and it was a pig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groper Member 611 Member For: 17y 11m 17d Posted 10/07/08 10:35 AM Share Posted 10/07/08 10:35 AM the purpose of grinding the flywheel besides cleaning it up, is to leave that crosshatched face on it... its supposed to be rough like that instead of smooth...most people on here are using castrol transmax Z, fully synthetic race spec gearbox oil. its about $70 for 4L and it improves the shifts when you put it in. However, it also increased the gear hash noise in mine, I guess it must be a bit thinner...As for your clutch, most people dislike the excedy clutches, and they dont last either...

I got one installed by profesionals and it slips very badly on a 10psi generic tune. that's on a vehicle that would be lucky to be producing 230rwkw, let alone withstanding the 300 odd your talking about.

As for the exedy well its already here, im confident it should last the standard one is only slipping a couple times a week on hard 4th gear pulls in every other gear it seems fine and there is no shudder and im running 265rwkw atm.
