FWD Clutch?

[BWeston]

Is a FWD clutch different from an AWD clutch? I'm sure there are threads on here about it but I dont have time to search right now

 

[2GFWDbeast]

yes they are the same

 

[BWeston]

yes they are the same

my uncle who got me into the whole dsm scene said they were different and i needed an AWD clutch, but i didn't think they were different at all

Pressure plate and disks are the same, the flywheel is different.

ok sweet, so all i gotta do now is buy an awd flywheel. an oem flywheel would work fine with my act 2600 clutch setup right?

Awd flywheel is a 6 bolt and fwd is 7 bolt i believe quote me if I am wrong.

^^ There are both 6 and 7 bolt fwd and awd flywheels.

OP- Yes, make sure to get the flywheel stepped to .612 and it's also a good idea to replace your clutch fork and fulcrum ball while your at it.

Don't forget an OEM TOB, don't use the ACT one.

What's wrong with the ACT tob?

does that mean getting it resurfaced or something? i've never heard of that

TOB's don't last very long is all i can think of

use the OEM TOB, just do it, act TOB have made noise for previous users on this forum.

yes buy a AWD flywheel. if its used bring it to a machine shop and have the machines step the flywheel to -.612

so yes resurface it so your clutch will have a uniform surface to grab to and break into

awd flywheel is different than a fwd flywheel.

yes there are 6 bolt engines in fwds, the difference is the fwd flywheel has different thickness than a awd.

Its not a different thickness, it is a different daimeter. The FWD flywheel is bigger

Thanks everyone! You guys were very helpful, I thought I was going to have to sell my whole clutch setup and buy a new one. Whew! That's a load off my shoulders, let's call it a night.
