Clutch Masters Single Mass Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel, 2013-16 Dart 2.0L & 2.4L

Dart 2.0L / 2.4L owners! If you want your Dart to have much better throttle response you need to read further. The factory flywheel weighs a solid 26 lbs, and the Clutch Masters lightweight flywheel weighs 12 lbs. That's a 14 lb savings of rotating mass weight.

At first you might think to yourself, 14 lbs doesn't sound like much, but that's massive. Rotating mass pertains to the items that spin from the engines power. Crankshaft, pistons, rods, brake rotors, axles, wheels, tires are all rotating mass. if you put 10 lbs of weight in your trunk it wont make any difference at all. But if you put 10 lbs of weight on the rotating mass of the engine you'll feel it immediately.

Why did Dodge make a car with such a heavy flywheel? Why don't all cars have a 10 lb flywheel?
Great question. The flywheel serves two purposes. 1) It smooths the impulses from the engine, and 2) It creates a consistent speed for the engine. With a 26 lb flywheel you'll have a smooth idle, but also sluggish acceleration due to the weight.

Solution
The lightweight flywheel will allow for much faster acceleration, and better throttle response. Power across the board is improved and low rpm (800-3000 rpm) is significantly improved.

This flywheel will make your Dart have a idle that is not smooth anymore. You'll feel more of the engine's pulses. Its not terrible in our opinion, but you wont even care after you drive your Dart and notice the awesome acceleration after the install.

The OEM dual mass flywheel is designed to be supremely quiet, and because of its mechanical clutch type engagement, it can allow for a smoother engagement of the clutch, but its very heavy and it slows the operation of the engine/car. Because of the mechanical engagement of the flywheel, it can fail over time. This lightweight flywheel on the other hand is a solid disc, with no moving parts so it cannot fail like a dual mass. The lightweight flywheel on the other hand, will increase performance and rpm response noticeably, and when driving you will not notice any additional noise, but with the clutch disengaged at idle it will be loud. If you depress the clutch, noise will be minimal.

This flywheel works with the stock clutch as well as the Clutch Masters line of clutches for the Dart 2.0L / 2.4L.

Note: the earliest versions of this lightweight aluminum flywheel were polished aluminum and silver in color. The new versions of flywheels are now powdercoated in black. The last photo we show on this page is of the older version Clutchmasters lightweight flywheel compared to a stock OEM dual mass flywheel.
