Default clutch Question?

will any flywheel that you buy, that is made specificlly for your application fit any brand clutch that you buy for your application. or should the flywheel be made by the same company that makes the clutch?

not always.

most of the time, they interchange. but, there are some clutches that require their own flywheel.

actually..i love the ease of serviceability of a modular clutch unit. dont have to worry about lining shit up, you have a brand new flywheel every time, it is pretty much the same price, and it goes in easier. why would someone replace just the clutch disc when doing a clutch and not replace the pressure plate or throwout bearing?

i dont see where you are going with the whole "he drives crap" or that since its a one piece....its junk.


please elaborate oh master.

I don't always replace my pressure plate. I had an ACT HD pressure plate I reused twice, never had a problem with it.
