Thats not the only time it does it I was trying to give an example. Yea I do know about the ex and internally balanced part. Exactly how would that kill my mpg with the rpms low,my engine is turning less and so for useing less gas. I normally get about 50 more miles on a tank when I do that compare to some of my normal driving.

 

Well i will let u know b/c tommorow it going to the shop for the flywheel i got a spec steel Flywheel and i dont know the engine is external or internal balanced 00 v6 stang prob the guy at the shop will know it has a Black box thing on the flywheel is that some type of weight? got it from american muscle so im gusseing it would be right

 

Yeah let me know how it goes. I also have a 2000 mustang, and I think that they are externally balanced. I may be wrong but I think the later part of that year they went to internal.

 

Just call Spec and tehy'll tell you wether or not you need the counter-weight. My 02 didn't need it.

 

How do you know if it's internally or externally balanced?

Would it be worth it to put a lighter flywheel?

 

there are aluminum flywheels that weight less, they suppose to make the car rev faster so I guess It would make the car a little faster. There not as strong as the steel ones so i've heard they might not last as long, but I do believe that our engine block is aluminum.

 

I put a billet aluminum one in mine, i love it.

 

Can you describe how its different. If I have to replace mine I might just go with that.

 

The aluminum version is the lightest one, it removes rotational weight from the drivetrain, causing less drag on the engine. It revs a lot faster.

 

so, if you get an aluminum flywheel it doesn't matter how your engine is balanced?
