Im replacing the clutch on the G60 and I dont know keep the stock or put a light flywheel (steel or alloy) with out knowing the ads/dis-ads. Anybody know ?sigpic MK2 GTI G60Comment

basic advantage of a lightened flywheel is to allow a quicker rev....less weight to push around therefore more hp for the right foot to use..this is it basically....alloy will have a steel face as the pressure plate/ clutch plate will I thought mince one pretty quick.....disadvantage is the thinner the flywheel the quicker it heats up ..faster wear rate....I hope it makes a bit of sense...oh yer less mass at the flywheel causes hills to be felt a little earlierComment

The G60 flywheel is exactly the same as the ABF one. It weighs about 22lbs and is stupidly heavy.Originally posted by aussieg60
I've had mine lobbed back to 12.5lbs. Make sure someone reputable does it, though, as if it's imbalanced, you're motor will go up **** creek pretty quick.
If the material is removed from the right place, it will mean the factory TDC mark is cut off, though, so MAKE SURE IT IS MARKED BACK ON AND NOT WITH A BLOODY TEXTA!!!!!!
here's a pic of mine:

I've taken over her entire house and live there more than my own until the car is done!!
At one stage, I had body panels in 5 different rooms :twisted:
Even now, both her sheds and garage are full up
