Product Details
Description
Clutch Masters’ aluminum flywheels are precision machined on our CNC machines to exact tolerances for a perfect fitment on your application. All aluminum flywheels are machined from a solid 6061 T6 billet. Our billets are sourced from US manufacturers and are guaranteed free of impurities or defects. Throughout the machining process every flywheel is checked to make sure the flywheel is built to spec and that all critical measurements are within tolerance. After the flywheels are machined they are Mil-Spec anodized in our in house, top of the line, anodizing system. Once anodized they receive final assembly with their replaceable steel insert being torqued down, pilot bearing installed (if applicable) and a thorough once over is given to the flywheel before it is packaged up and ready for your project! All aluminum flywheels come with a replaceable steel insert and are SFI certified for use in all sanctioned racing bodies.
Going from a Dual-Mass Flywheel (DMF) to a Single-Mass Flywheel (SMF):
A Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) is a flywheel in two concentric parts or two facing flywheels stuck together with a flexible compound to damp down transmitted vibration and gear rattle for the gearbox. Many newer model vehicles now come standard with a factory DMF. Many times enthusiasts choose to replace a DMF with an SMF and here is why:
- DMF’s tend to be more expensive than a SMF.
- DMF’s are not designed to be resurfaced like conventional SMF.
- DMF’s usually weigh 30+ lbs depending on the application which will cause unwanted turbo lag.
- DMF’s cannot withstand a high rate of abuse and may fail under spirited driving.
Benefits of switching to an SMF:
- Reduced mass equals increased acceleration.
- Reduces turbo “lag” in turbo-charged engines.
- Increased supercharger efficiency due to less drag on the crank.
- Improved mid-range torque in naturally aspirated engines.
- SMF are able to be resurfaced and can be reused.
*** Clutch Masters offers Aluminum or Steel SMF depending on the application. We recommend you replace your DMF with a Steel SMF if the vehicle will be driven on the street since it will produce less noise and will be more pleasant to drive on the street compared to an Aluminum SMF. Aluminum flywheels are only recommended for race applications looking to have the least amount of weight as possible. By replacing a DMF with a SMF you may experience gear rattle and a vibration that may not be suitable for everyone. SMF may also reduce the life expectancy of a clutch kit depending on the application.
