Product Description
BMW Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel - Clutch Masters FW-055-AL
Clutch Masters Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel - FW-055-AL
Clutch Masters 2-Piece Billet Aluminum Flywheels are made from the highest quality 6061-T6 or better grade aluminum. This material is chosen for its properties that are much more suitable for the environment than the one-piece chromoly units, with regards to heat dissipation and serviceability. The replaceable friction surface used is incredibly tough high carbon steel. This allows mating with any type of clutch friction material without worry. The starter ring gears are made of high carbon heat-treated steel for long lasting durability. The unit is buttoned together with military grade fasteners to make the premier flywheel in the industry. *Features* * Reduced mass equals increased acceleration. * A lightweight flywheel works particularly well with turbo-charged engines because it reduces typical turbo lag. * Increased supercharger efficiency due to less parasitic drag on the crank. * Improved mid-range torque in a normally aspirated engine due to not having to overcome the heavy weight of a stock flywheel. * CM uses only 6061-T6 aircraft grade or better billet aluminum in the manufacturer of its flywheels. * CM uses High Carbon steel for the friction surface. (Replaceable) * CM uses an OEM steel ring gear secured by bolts. * CM offers a limited lifetime warranty. * CM Billet Aluminum Flywheels meet SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2
*Does not include mounting hardware*
High Technology Makes the Difference. Historically, high performance clutches have been a compromise. While improving holding or clamping pressure, manufacturers nearly always increase pedal pressure to an uncomfortable point, especially for stop-and-go traffic. Besides drivability concerns, additional pedal pressure can adversely affect stock clutch linkage and cause premature thrust bearing wear, leading to missed shifts, damaged clutch components, and even engine destruction. Today, thanks to Clutch Masters, increased holding pressure does not necessarily mean increased pedal pressure and the problems that can accompany it. By re-engineering the leverage or fulcrum point on the pressure plate through their Hi-Leveragetm technique, Clutch Masters has increased clamping power, often without changing pedal pressure.
