    Eh? The one I got looked beefy as hell... looked like an all metal housing.

    Can the slave’s dowel thingy (technical term, I know) be adjusted/does it not press out as far as it ages? It almost seems like it’s not making contact with the fork when my foot is off the clutch, and the lack of pressure allows the rattling. Idk, but for $60 I’m willing to try it out—I’m tried of people looking at me weird when I’m going through the neighborhood or a parking lot.

    Bumping an old thread but are those of you running this setup still satisfied with it? Any solutions to the noise or 'it is what it is'.

    Also I read this flywheel isn't marketed as lightweight in any way, but is there any weight advantage to it over stock? Anyone notice quicker revs, ect.

    Thanks

    I've run with mine now for about 30,000 miles... same as it was--no chatter but clunks if I release too abruptly in lower gears.

    Exact same weight as stock. The only reason it might feel quicker to rev is because of the rubberband feeling of a worn DMF.

    I’m only about 10k on mine and 4 track days but my opinion hasn’t changed either. I changed from D4 ATF to a heavier MT90 and it helped the chatter a little bit, but I realize that’s not an option for you guys up north.

    It drives great, but really wish I’d stuck with the nylon pivot pin because I think the metal pin is the source of some of my non-idle rattling. Gonna replace the slave cylinder once it warms up to see if it helps keep better pressure on the fork.

    Thanks guys. I'm gonna run MTL in my trans so I'll see how that does. Hopefully I don't need to go here yet but if it turns out my rear main is the source of my leak I'm gonna tackle it all while I'm in there. I'm at 140k on believed stock clutch. I already have some light chatter at idle that goes away when I push the clutch but it doesn't really bother me.


    704sw I saw your car at the Jzilla event back in July. My friends were running a Green CRX and Marlboro livery Alfa. Your car caught my eye man, looks good!

    I'm running MTL... probably should've switched to D4. It's a little stiff when cold but loosens up in a matter of minutes. Have you tried ST205 in hopes of stopping your rear main leak?

    Thanks! And yea definitely do it all while you’re in there. I’m still mad at myself for not replacing my starter when I did my clutch (it died a few weeks later).

    The Jzilla group seems really great. I’m hoping to get to a few events with them soonish, but most of the places they run (Road Atlanta, AMP, etc.) are places I don’t think I’ll drive until I have a dedicated track car—too many concrete walls for my comfort in the Unicorn.

    I’ll have to go back through my pictures from that day, I probably have some of your friends’ cars. The Marlboro livery was awesome.

    What noise do you think the metal pin is responsible for ?

    A metal on metal rattle that appears at exactly 2000rpm in every gear. It hasn’t gotten any worse with more miles, the pedal feels fine, and it doesn’t change in pitch/speed as the revs go up, which is why I don’t think it’s the throwout bearing.

    If I put a very slight amount of pressure on the clutch pedal it goes away (basically holding the fork tightly against the pivot pin), which is why I’m going to try changing the slave cylinder. My very unscientific guess (I’m literally spitballing here) is the part circled in green below is retracting too far into the unit when the pedal is released:
