WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: The flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate are a balanced assembly and are not available as individual components. The pressure plate mounts or locates onto the flywheel via two dowel pins in the flywheel. If the pressure plate is not aligned properly onto the dowel pins and tightened down, the pins may bend and the plate may be incorrectly positioned which will effect component balance. Refer to Clutch Assembly Replacement .
  • Existing flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate assembly onto the existing engine:

    Flywheel position must be marked prior to removal and installed to the original position. Refer to Engine Flywheel Removal .

  • Existing flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate onto a new engine:

    Remove balance weights, if applicable from the flywheel.

  • New flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate assembly onto an existing engine:

    Do not transfer or install balance weights.

  • New flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate assembly onto a new engine:

    Do not install balance weights.
