Clutch/Flywheel Install Procedures - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Alright, so I ordered the rest of the parts for my swap today from Enjuku (sidenote: I'm broke now

). In my list I had a new spec stage 2 clutch and Ray said I should definately get a flywheel if I'm swapping the clutch. This is by far the scariest part of the install for me as I REALLY don't want to install it and have to take it back out so I'm trying to do a fuckton of research. Not to mention this is the first time I will have done it. I will be following this guide (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=97080) since everyone on the thread seems to agee with his procedure. I also have the FSM to reference although I couldn't find much on anything pertaining to the flywheel.

My questions are... I understand that you use an alignment tool to get the clutch in correctly, is there any alignment that needs to be done to the flywheel? I read that it comes with mating marks on it but some people have just throw it on there and it works fine. Maybe these sources were a bunch of idiots, I trust you guys opinion more. I went through every flywheel thread here.

Also, I understand you need to apply a lithium grease (as noted in the thread above) to the clutch springs. Is there a particular kind/brand everyone prefers or a certain spec grease to use?

grease on the springs? Id be afraid of it contaminating the clutch disc.
Flywheel just bolts on...

I may have misunderstood the grease thing, I saw it on some install site. I'll check my resources again about that to be certain. I saw him put grease on something on the cluch though, perhaps it was on the bearing, I can't remember.

It's good to know that the flywheel just bolts on as well, makes something easier.

No grease on the springs. At least I never have. The flywheel just bolts on.

did you get the flywheel resurfaced? and how about the little "step" thats on the surface of the flywheel?

jrmiller84 · 03-10-2007, 07:25 PM

I purchased a new flywheel. Don't feel like finding/trusting a machinst

Besides, this one is lighter and debt is good right?
