Need A New Clutch!!
The comptech friction disk I ordered off a member here is no good! When the mechanics tried putting it in with the Ur flywheel and oem pressure plate it didn't work. So now Im stuck and I don't know what to do with the clutch, and I need one that fits with the UR flywheel! I NEED HELP ASAP

Well, found out today that there is no other clutch that is compatible w/ the ur flywheel, and the comptech piece is just no good. Ima try to contact the guys at comptech and see if the friction disk was made to go w/ their flywheel b/c i dont think it was made to go w/ the oem one (dual mass)?

If that's the actual CL Flywheel, you're right. There's not much room. It's hard to gauge the depth but it kind of looks shallow. It's also missing the center section that has the pilot bearing.

Im sure the space will allow it but now you wont have a sprung clutch or a dampened flywheel, hopefully your OEM crank pulley is still on your car. Either way try giving a call and ask them about it, or try returning the UR flywheel.

Guess your going to have to go with a solid hub clutch disc or return the flywheel

solid hub refers to the lack of torsional springs in the clutch disk.

It blows me away that they would design this to only work with an unsprung hub friction disk. Why go through the effort of designing a flywheel and create so many limitations around it.

so i talked to ur again and they say the same shit. oh, well, this flywheel hasnt have enough production to ever run into something like this and we can look into it further but I guess your only bet would be w/ a non-sprung hub. I told them about the comptech friction disk and they didnt have any answers. My car is about ready to go and im not sure if i want to go through any more trouble of taking shit out and putting shit back so i just might keep the flywheel on. that wouldnt be a problem would it?

if they dont make a very strong disk(backing plate and contact material) you will have trouble and the clutch may only last you only a couple of months of normal use, send your flywheel to and have it notched and you can use the comptech disk and have a lighter flywheel.

LOL - I've seen what damage an exploding flywheel can cause. I'm probably overly cautious but...
