*STOCK RESURFACED ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL*
So about 5k miles ago, I put in a new spec stage 2+ clutch.
everything went beautifully (except taking out the stock TOB.. OMFG.)
about 2k miles after install, I began hearing a chattery noise, and assumed it was clutch/flywheel chatter. It never got worse or anything. So i ignored it.
Well, after a long track day, I had let the car sit and upon starting up, the starter WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. It was as if I never took my hand off the ignition and it just kept turning and turning. Even when i turned the cobra off, the starter kept turning the flywheel after the car was off!!
Today, I took the trans out and come to find the ring gear on the flywheel came LOOSE!! The rivets holding it in place somehow came loose and the teeth on the outside of the flywheel were literally jiggling around. That completely explained the chatter noise. And im ASSUMING that's what caused the starter to malfunction as it did.
I called ford and they said the OE flywheel is discontinued and $1,600 to get my hands on one. **** THAT! So my question is, what is the best flywheel to pair with my Spec stage 2+ clutch kit??
Thanks guys
