Chris Wilson Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have one of my clutch kits, brand new, and a couple of used flywheels that were changed when fitting clutches that used a (rattly) none dual mass flywheel. They were fine when removed. Used flywheels are £35. Clutch info below. Thanks. I use the stock, brand new driven plate, as it is correctly balanced, doesn't judder and will hold all but mega torque highly modded engines or cars used for drag racing. I modify a stock brand new cover to give more clamping force. The reason I tooled up to do these is some of the aftermarket US clutches I have fitted SEEM to be built from used cover assemblies with reground friction surfaces, and a stronger spring. I have had hellish trouble getting these to fully release, because due to this seemingly thinner cast iron friction face, the geometry of the clutch goes to pot, and being a pull type clutch (the hydraulics pull the bearing away from the engine, rather than the more normal push type) it is a lot harder to effect a cure. For 455 pounds plus VAT , you get supplied a brand new driven plate, a brand new modded cover, and a brand new release bearing. I would rather fit myself so any complaints are down to me, I see a lot of clutches damaged by people without the right gear (a ramp and transmission jack, plus correct circlip tools and fitment) or clutches fitted to patently *uggered flywheels. Fitting by myself will cost £175 + VAT. I will do a supply only if you feel competent to tackle the job or are using a bona fide garage to fit the clutch Toyota use a dual mass flywheel (the flywheel is in 2 parts, an inner and outer assembly, damped in the middle) which is now showing signs of wear causing a lot of rattle when idling or on very light throttle openings. For God knows what reason they are charging about £270 + VAT for a new one, they look more like they should be over 500 to me, but don't say anything :-) The very similar LUK dual mass flywheel on Maseratis is nearly £1000 + VAT.... So if the flywheels old enough or abused enough to be scored it should be replaced. Reply privately if interested please.
