Anybody quiet down a noisy Findanza FW ?
Well, my kid learned to drive stick on my 91 1.6.... Gonna be time to replace the clutch soon.
The 9 pound Fidanza Flywheel has always made an annoying racket. I can throw in a stock flywheel but I'm wondering if the Fidanza can be quieted down somehow (?) I'm not even sure what in the drive train makes the noise (?) Thanks |
...the flywheel. They all do that as far as I know. You quiet it by putting a stock one in or ignoring it.

No. If you want a quiet drivetrain, put a heavy flywheel back in.

I'm looking for a machine shop locally that will lighten a stock one for me leaving "meat" in the correct places so that it doesn't ring ...

A long long time ago, the only lightweight flywheel available was a lightened stock flywheel. Holy shit I'm old.

I have an 11lb Competition Clutch flywheel and that makes a little noise at idle, and a bit of a buzz on decel in higher gears (mostly 4th). The 13lb flywheels are probably the best option if you would like to compromise weight vs drivetrain noise.

I just weighed my stock 1.6 FW - It weighs 18 lbs. Dunno how much they can shave off (?)
I was quoted a price of $45.00 to re- surface and lighten the flywheel. While I was at it, asked how much to do a valve job on my spare 1.6 head - $300.00 I don't know if that is the going rate or what... Includes complete disassembly, cleaning, inspection, 3 angle valve cut etc. Oppinions ? |
