I've made many calls. It appears the ONLY choice for a flywheel is a stock
dual mass from the dealer at $800+. For some reason I am convinced there are
alternatives but none are forthcoming. I'm doing some repair to a '92 S4
trans and replacing the clutch/pressure plate while I'm in there. The dual
mass rotates quite freely approx 1" so I think it should be replaced "while
I'm in there". I've seen GP's for aluminum on this list long ago. Fidanza in
OH will make me 10 nice lightweights. Anyone have a good used dual mass
available?
Does anyone on this list know of alternatives and sources of supply?
Thanks,
Tim Leonard





Tim-

Northern European Automotive in NH sells the aluminum ones as well, 11.25
lbs.  Forget how much, likely close to the $800 you mention.  Note:
aluminum flywheel will clatter at idle in neutral with clutch out, and under
bogged load while driving.  Is it worth the ohmygodcool spool up???  You
betchya...

Good luck, YMMV, etc.
