AliveBoy Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Hi Guys, can anyone tell if my flywheel can be saved from these pics? I'm literally flat broke, but I need my car back on the road/track asap. If the flywheel can't be saved it's year over for me I fear I'm trying to find someone locally who might be able to help, but in the meantime I'm at the mercy of the forum gods. The worst bit I could grab a picture of close up: Thanks to anyone who can offer some help/guidance Quote
SteveM Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 is it not possible to have a flywheel skimmed? i know i wouldnt suggest doing it to a DMF but a single mass one like that??? Quote
Commander Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Looks like you'd be hard pushed to make it worse; get some wet'n'dry and start rubbing? Quote

SteveM Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Woking.. ok then Ashtead is just up the road... that said any good engineering firm should be able to look at it and advide you if it can be skimmed Quote

philw99 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 · Hidden by Ebized, June 12, 2014 - Trying a crafty sale Hidden by Ebized, June 12, 2014 - Trying a crafty sale I've got a dual mass flywheel you could buy from 2005 350z. Greater Manchester area sent from mobile. could be typo's
AliveBoy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Wow great value for money from that clutch! Only had it for 11 months... whoops Quote
-Bradders- Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Why over? Theres a guy selling a jwt one on here for £110! Quote
KyleR Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Why over? Theres a guy selling a jwt one on here for £110! Because "flat broke" means flat effing broke Edited June 12, 2014 by KyleR Quote
mouthwash Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 If I buy a new flywheel, you're more than welcome to fit it for me and keep my old flywheel as payment... Quote
AliveBoy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Why over? Theres a guy selling a jwt one on here for £110! I had to trailer the car back from the netherlands plus the cost of new clutch, line, fluids etc etc. It just adds up really quickly If I buy a new flywheel, you're more than welcome to fit it for me and keep my old flywheel as payment... That's a hugely generous offer, however I wouldn't be comfortable working on someone else's car. I'm no mechanic, so if mine breaks, I have to deal with it, if I break yours I'd have to pay to fix it AND feel bad forever Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Providing there are no heat fractures your fly will face up quite easily and will be serviceable, or as the guys have suggested you could get it skimmed. Alex. 2 Quote

a2orry Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 If you have a electric sander of some sort I would give it good going over with medium then fine grade papers. Quote
andybp Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) looks skimmable (not sure if thats a real word)I've put worse back together as is for the same reason skint needed the car worse case is the clutch doesn't bed in wears out quickly and slips really depends on how badly you need the car right now and are you willing to ruin the clutch and have to buy another one Edited June 12, 2014 by andybp Quote
