How much does the flywheel weigh?The verified retailer specification lists an approximate weight of 9 pounds.
Can this be used with a factory clutch?No. The manufacturer application requires a compatible SPEC clutch designed for this billet flywheel pattern.
Is the friction surface replaceable?Yes. The flywheel uses a replaceable high-carbon steel friction surface.
Will this fit a 12-valve VR6?No. The verified application is the 2002-2005 Golf IV with the 2.8L 24-valve VR6.
Will a lightweight flywheel change drivability?Reduced rotating mass can make engine speed rise and fall more quickly and may increase drivetrain sound compared with the original dual-mass system.
Are clutch components included?No. A compatible clutch kit is sold separately.
What should be checked before installation?Confirm the engine and transmission application, inspect the starter and crank mating surfaces, and use new fasteners where required by the service information.
