so has anyone else had bad luck with the fidanza flywheel? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

leet · 04-25-2006, 06:50 PM

to start things off it was out of spec when I got it and it had to get machined down .030" for the clutch to not slip and get it in spec

that got it working for a while

then 2 of the freaking set pins *come out* and rattle around the bellhousing gouging the hell out of the flywheel and putting a good 1/16" hole in the tranny case, along with a bunch of other dings and knicks, luckly it caused no intenal or massive damage and I can get it welded

I'm buying a RPS, screw fidanza

pics tomorrow

no issues with my FW but my DXD clutch lost 2 of the springs.

ok I have a video you can hear it happen, it's when I shift and it kind of sounds like compressor surge

2mitsus hated his fidanza... IMHO, they're just cheap, shitty FW's.

yeah, I have an RPS on the way, I'm not going back to a fidanza
