so has anyone else had bad luck with the fidanza flywheel?

HOLY SHIT! i didnt mean to mis lead the poor guy. mine did nothing like that, i must have caught it in time. i did mess up and put it back in.(peg in flywhl not flywhl in car)before i took pics. i really thought it was rare and not an major damage issue. you proved that wrong. i only have a few tiny marks where it hit. yours looks like a shooting range! i cant prove my flywheel messed up but put me on a lie detector and see if im lying. i wouldnt own anything made by fidanza now, or ever! j sin

Mine has been working fine. I've had it in for the past 20k miles.

DuTTch · 05-17-2008, 11:27 AM

Different vehicle but I had mine in my last car for about 15K miles and now in this car for about .. 8K miles with no issues.

I would give their customer support a call though, I had to call them once before and they were very helpful.

the flywheel had about 30k miles when it took a dump! i dont drop/pop the clutch in first but, i do shift it hard when at a roll. im guessing that the peg popped out on a hard shift. rps here i come, like the man said if its good enough for matt m its good enough for me! thx, j sin

Wow, never heard of this before. Had one on my stang and SLtt with no problems whatsoever and both of those got driven hard.

gltasn · 05-18-2008, 07:00 AM

must be these td05's. they peg popped out within 300 miles after installing turbos. seems like its a rare problem but do you want to chance a tranny failing? even if fidanza gave me a free flywheel, i wouldn't use it! any one have a new rps for sale? i need shipped mon. for tue. delivery. j sin

Never seen or heard of that happening before. I had one in my Talon for the better part of 10k miles and it held up perfectly fine with over 100 track passes and many street launches off the 2-step and big boost.
