Just got the autozone flywheel

se7enty7 · Apr 2nd, 2003, 02:42 PM

And it weighs 14.5 lbs! According to another forum member, the stock one should be 18 or so.. According to the box it was remanufactured by ATSCO.. anyone heard of them?

So far so good..

How much was it?

se7enty7 · Apr 2nd, 2003, 09:36 PM

$60..

You could have it lightened further. I had my stocker lightened and it now weighs about 10.5 lbs. I hev been running it for about 3 years now. No problems!

se7enty7 · Apr 2nd, 2003, 09:49 PM

well.. if stock is supposed to be 18lbs.. and this one is 14.5 then that's good enough for me I think..

I wonder what makes it lighter.. it is a reman stock

anything wrong with buying a reman flywheel? It's "made in the usa" heh

The only way I could think of remanufactored flywheel is if it's just resurfaced and rebalanced.. maybe they took 4lbs off while resurfacing it

somebody went for coffee break

I wonder about the quality though

ive got a spare flywheel if that one shatters to pieces(which i dont think it will). i never got back to you but its in good condition...just needs resurfacing. i might take it to a machine shop and go ahead and lighten it.

lets keep this thread going and see if anyone knows the actual stock weight.

anyone else had any expierience with this?
make sure you post back with your results after the install.

Wes, you shaved 7.5lbs off the stockfly wheel is unbelievable. What other side effects did others say your might experience?

aminidab · Apr 3rd, 2003, 04:23 PM

I just weighed my old stock flywheel and it was 14-15 pounds ( on a bathroom scale). So it looks like the stock weight is normally 14.5 pounds, not 18.

**wes** · Apr 3rd, 2003, 06:04 PM

When I weighed my flywheel BEFORE it was touched it was just uner 18 LBS. After it was done it was 11. So yes they safely removed 7 lbs. It cost about $60 to have it done. There have been no side effects. faster to rev, easier on the gearbox. It does not have a nice replacable surface like the JWT flywheel, but I had this done prior to that being available. I have had this for over 3 years WITHOUT a problem. This flywheel outlasted the OEM and ACT clutch.

wes, what kind of a place did you have it done at?
