Default Flywheel Questions

Well I orded the Fidanza Steel flywheel to go with my Mcleod RST clutch. But found out that the flywheel is backordered for at least 5 weeks. Can any brand flywheel be matched with the Mcleod Clutch? Or is there a certain one I should be getting.

Why not use a mcleod flywheel with the mcleod clutch?

Well the McLeod Billet Steel was ordered. The issue with the stock on was not having enough surface area to take full advantage of the new clutch.

Thats what I am looking for! It sucks driving around my car now not being able to feel the full power... I am wondering this since my clutch has been slipping for a while, if that effected my dyno... Should I dyno it again once the new clutch is broken in?

if it will finally put to rest any
nagging questions you have, i
don't see why not.

i might dyno next summer, just to make
sure everything is still in order.

RST and McLeod Billet steel flywheel. Great combination works like a champ.
