Hi,
Since I've gotten the car back, I've begun to hate my lightweight flywheel. I'm thinking that now my next modification will be a stock AE86 flywheel. The main problem I have with the flywheel is the fact that the engine and entire car shudders horribly whenever the engine sees below 1,600 RPM or so and the car is in gear. Whether I'm starting from a stop, or driving really slow in a parking lot, the car will shudder horribly if it sees low RPMs. When starting from a stop, I have to rev the car all the way up to at least 1,600 RPM or so...it feels like I'm slipping the clutch, and that's why it's so hard to get used to. I always want to give it less gas, but then the car shudders so badly. Also, this makes it near impossible to start quickly from a start without spinning the tires. Whenever I try, the engine simply bogs down and shakes when I try to start quickly from a stop. Does anyone else have this problem with their lightweight flywheel? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Are you sure it's the flywheel causing the problem and not the clutch?
(or may be a combination of both) I have a genuine TRD clutch with standard flywheel fitted on my ST and I have this similar "shuddering" problem especially in stop/start traffic. I have to increase the revs to pull away cleanly. FYI: NOPI online catalogue is interesting reading when it comes to clutches. They also have Clutch Master and Competition Clutch lightened/lightweight flywheels for the ST. |
