all i can say is wow!!.i never felt such a big difference in acceleration and how it engages.it should have been offered at the factory like this.launching the car is so easy and smooth the pedal feels great and when you hit the gas in first holy cow it spins up so much faster and coming down in the revs is pretty quick but not as fast as i thought.going up a hill or just accelerating is so easy the car just wants to fly.talk about wheelspin you hit it in 3rd and wow it flies.feels nothing like a stock 6speed clutch.its night and day.one of the best investments i spent compared to the supercharger.it takes a while to get used to and the shifting part is so easy it just goes right in gear with no effort at all.all you six speeders i wish i could let you drive it you would order it the next day.now this is how a manual should feel.heres the pics chk just 1-6http://www.flwse.com/images/steve/Eric/

 

I guess I need to install mine eh?

 

Wow that sounds awesome. This car really needs a lighter flywheel. What was the installation like? Do you have to pull the motor to do it? I would love to do this.

 

So... Types... do you think the S/C made more difference or the flywheel/clutch made more difference?

 

the supercharger made a bigger difference but the combination of both now really compliments eachother all i have to say is hold on in first gear allmotorits alot of work to install it give yourself10hrs every bit of it.it feels like im driving a totally different car.thank you comptech,shad,nate,joe,bob all of the guys at comptech deserve some real credit here for a wonderful job of creating the pkg as it should be

 

So types1967... what is the weight of the stock vs. CT flywheel/clutch? I take it, CT reuses the pressure plate. Also, could you post pictures of the stock multi-disk pressure plate and clutches. Just curious what they look like...

 

the difference in weight is 60%lighter.you reuse the stock pressure plate thats it the rest is their flywheel and clutch.i can tell you the stock dual mass flywheel and the comptech flywheel is night and day.i can frisbee the comptech flywheel and the stock one is so damm heavy.trust me on this mod well worth every dam penny

 

 

how much and where did you install and can I get a test spin I suspected it would be great but now its a fact

 

im sooo jealous of six speeders...really. i dont like being poor anymore!

 

Not to rain on the parade, but with a flywheel that's 60% lighter, isn't there a potential problem addtional backlash loading/stress put on the rod bearings? What I mean is every time you let off the gas or hit a bump in the road, isn't that going to be extra stress transferred to the rod bearings?

 

not at all remeber all comptech did was reverse engineer the pkg.they put the springs in the clutch itself instead of the spring being in the dual mass flywheel itself.their is less load now on the bearings etc etc.also easier on the crank.already spoke to comptech about it thats why i got it

 

It already spins the end of 1st gear everytime... so it will probably end up being like the turbo...

 

yes all motor it spins without it but it feels like the car lost alot of weight and does accelerate much faster now

 

Hey types are you going to get your car dynoed anytime soon?

03
6-spd
Icebox CAI

 

i did go look in dyno section from a while back i put down 295whp which is 350hp at crank.can dyno flywheel need engine dyno and am not pulling engine out of car for that.but car feels great get the clutch pkg from comptech well worth the grand that it costs

 

dude you got some hairy arms and you need to resize your pics...

otherwise...bad ass

 

how much for install???

 

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad the review is good Looks like the lightweight wheel and flywheel setup will really help driveability! I can't wait. How much was the install, how long did it take and where did you have it done??

 

Zapata
hows the Amsoil and the new oil filter any difference felt ???

Lou

 

i paid 675 for install total but new a friend at the dealer.cant mention who but price will vary could be 900 normally.its alot of work to pull the trans out and install a new setup.reasonable amount for 10hrs labor here in the east.its extensive to do the job as i have seen how much work it really is but again still worth the feeling of driving a very different car now

 

Yeah, you hairy bastard, I am soooo jealous... I hope we can meet up if I ever travel down into your area..

Smitty

 

hmmmm 2k total.....hmmmmmm

 

thanx for the support guys next is the b pipe mod and then hopefully ecu upgrade one day if it ever comes out

 

Actually I got a quote from $550 to $650 for the install from several dealers - hence the reason I haven't gone to them!!

If you pay > $650, you are getting ripped off!

 

Any downside to the new setup? Any difference in the shift smoothness? How "grabby" is the friction material in the clutch? Is it an on/off thing or about the same as stock?

 

car shifts alot smoother and grabs much better no downside to it.allmotor here in nj all dealers get 89.99 an hour labor.where as down south its 45=55 an hour.even in pa its cheaper but im not driving to georgia or pa for an install.how much is it in cali per hour?.anyway goodluck allmotor installing your clutch let me know how it is the clutch is very different than stock its night and day.again well worth the investment.trust me i dont lie get it and see for yourself

 

That is great to hear Eric, simply awesome!!! What is next on your agenda??

 

I guess cali must just be cheaper. I really want to at least TRY to install it myself... but if the job gets too big, I'll take it somewhere! From what you have said about the performane gains... I'll do it soon

 

hey steve its great to hear from you what did you do disappear?well next mod is bpipe because im still waiting on you with the final answer on your imrc. lol anyway steve im getting more boost in higher gears wonder why.im hitting 5psi now when i floor it.strange isnt it?give me a call when ya get a chance ill tell ya all about it.the car spins up super fast now.

 

THAT'S IT I'M GETTING IT!! If I can convert the transmission in my Accord and change the flywheel in that I should be able to do this! Although this did make me read through Helm again and it still looks like a bitch. Allmotor, wanna get together and do a group flywheel install ? I have air tools

 

good luck blue6 it is a bitch to do.but just do it you wont be dissapointed!!!! all we need now is steve to get the clutch pkg

 

so when you takin it to the track

 

when i pay off all these comptech bills sometime in year 2010 lol

 

Man you guys are killing me. I just got rid of my 1993 Audi S4 because I was standing in my garage looking at trans #3 and thinking to myself that I really don't feel like doing another tranny. Now there is a great reason to take the tranny out of the new Type-S. Has anyone actually had one out? The Audi was a pain in the ass the first time but I was able to do one for a friend in 6 hours. It was listed as 10 hours dealer labor as well.

 

hmmm whats the next mod???? i cant stop damm it

 

Sounds good. I just can't take my car apart like that now. I'll wait till I need a clutch. Also I'm afraid about long term reliabilty. Will this setup last for 60, 70, 100K miles? It would suck if in 30K miles a new clucth would be needed.

 

new clutch will last just as long as oem just comes down to driver

 

I'll probably wait until I burn up the stock unit before making the change. But this will more than likely happen within the next 10k miles.

I will do this myself though and snap pics for reference.

 

What does a clutch replacement run in term of cost?
