There should be no need to take that covering off.

 

DO not modify the disk but you should rectify the dents in the outside with a file.

Make sure the flywheel is machined.

 

Thanks!

Many thanks, I really appreciate it!

BTW, got your advise on email a little before

P.S. it`s for a Romanian fellow going on the long and hard way of tuning his SAAB, so as you can see, you have a customers`s community all the way to Romania
Now I am really curious how his SAAB will work (stock 9-3 AERO => 205 HP).

P.S.2. I think he is way over-clutching, but hey, it`s his decision (that I became aware only a couple of days ago, when the kit way on its way to Ro.)

 

You could tell him to sell that unit and put one in that will work better for his app.

 

yeap



true, I could tell him this, but he doesn`t listen!
He is saying: if this application is "performance", I should rather get it instead of a stock part! This way, I will not have to change that part too soon.
For a stock car, this principle sometimes applies...sometimes DOESN`T!
Poly bushings: YES!
Forged pistons: YES!
Shocks & springs: depends...
bigger fuel injectors: NO!
Clutch: definitely NO!
3.5 FPR: NO!
s.o.

We should build a list of DOs and DO NOTs for stock cars

 

done it!

I have just installed the 6-puck clutch disc... a little bit of more work (6 point brace, bigger turbo, s.o.), but it`s on!
The lightened flywheel from Nick T. was perfect (no need to be surfaced), and with some emotion (due to various internet experts opinions) I started a road try...Absolutely stock feeling, no noise/sounds, just hard grip that holds even at peak torque of Stage 5 Viggen (some 480-500 Nm).
Thumbs up Nick for another great product!

 

Hope you weren't doing much hard shifting yet...they have a break in period otherwise you'll glaze the flywheel.

 

Wut?



Why nobody told me this before?
No kidding, I have over-revved it a little (not extensively, thou), but in the 2nd, at low rmps, it acts strange, like that Chewbacca mentioned about.
I am now letting it settle...some 400 kms on it, but still doing the same, hope it`s not glazed already...
can someone confirm I still have a chance to save this clutch disc?
Many thanks!

 

I have the 6-puck clutch and a machine shop lightened stock flywheel. (Took off 3lbs.) It works great!
