flywheel's in.....

[johnygti]

i cant fucking tell it revs fast when its out of gear but thats it!!!!! the new gearbox is much better but the flywheel dont make a dirrerence!!!

from a standing start you should feel the diffrence, or try droping from 4th to 2nd.

 

[johnygti]

maybe a tiny bit but i dont know if that just the gearbox because mine was fooked!

 

[rhyd4]

i thought like i got nothing at first but after time it all came together, maybe needs breaking in. they do recomend a 500mile period but i went for from the off.

Surely your not thrashing it straight after fittting it?

 

[SMSAlmer]

Why not give it some time to settle, then take it to a safe place and time it to 60mph?

 

[sri_alan]

just go out and give the car some abuse

drive it like you stole it :lol: nah just drive normal, dont go driving like a learner or nowt, dont be scared that you got to be gentle either. i find it better now its been in a while, maybe because i thought it was going to be a huge diffrence, or didnt know what to expect.

 

[johnygti]

i expected to much i think i can tell a bit but thats it, it was off paul d gti, so will it still need bedding im? its had a good thrashing!

 

[Benskett]

Even if you can't notice a difference, think of the good it's doing the engine, less strain.

 

[rhyd4]

second hand, your lucky to get it to work right id say. i had trouble with a second hand fidanza and a new clutch, think the plate was worn to much and was making the bearing chatter its tits off.

 

[johnygti]

it seems to be getting better everytime i drive it, i needed a new gear box anyway so atleast its in!

 

[rhyd4]

what clutch did you go with

 

[johnygti]

i had a new one put in about 5000 miles ago so i guess is would have been ok the machanic said it was fine! he also told me to get a cold air feed to my k&n, i thought i had one but it must of fell off!!

 

[rhyd4]

did you change the bearing? i didnt and wish i did, chatters a tad now

 

[johnygti]

it sounds fooked i wish i had done!!

A lightweight flywheel will sound a bit noisy.

A lightweight flywheel will sound a bit noisy.

what like a chatter or slight knocking, and when you put your foot on the clutch it goes

 

[Paul D GTi]

Gutted you can't feel a difference mate i thought you would have been able to cos i could. You should have changed the release bearing. I do everytime the box is out

Yes, just like that. My N1 gearbox had brand new bearings and i installed a new OE clutch release bearing when it was fitted....i still get the noise, so it`s normal.
