Model Number: 245177-ALFW
Introducing the Clutchmasters Aluminum flywheel for the 1.4 Turbo Sonic and Cruze!
Benefits of a Clutch Masters Light Weight flywheel:
Light-weight for improved performance and Quicker Rev's.
(Aluminum Flywheels) Consist of a replaceable heat shield (friction surface), eliminating need to resurface flywheel.
Reduces turbo "lag" in turbo-charged engines.
Increased supercharger efficiency due to less drag on the crank.
Improved mid-range torque in naturally aspirated engines.
CNC Machined and balanced.
SFI Certified.
Going from a Dual-Mass Flywheel (DMF) to a Single-Mass Flywheel (SMF):
A Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) is a flywheel in two concentric parts or two facing flywheels stuck together with flexible compound to damp down transmitted vibration and gear rattle for the gear box. Many newer model vehicles now come standard with a factory DMF. Many times enthusiast choose to replace a DMF with a SMF and here is why:
DMF's tend to be more expensive than a SMF.
DMF's are not designed to be resurfaced like conventional SMF.
DMF's usually weigh 30+ lbs depending on the application which will cause unwanted turbo lag.
DMF's cannot withstand a high rate of abuse and may fail under spirited driving.
Benefits of switching to a SMF:
Reduced mass equals increased acceleration.
Reduces turbo "lag" in turbo-charged engines.
Increased supercharger efficiency due to less drag on the crank.
Improved mid-range torque in naturally aspirated engines.
SMF are able to be resurfaced and can be reused.
