Anyone know if a 2nd gen clutch will work on a 3rd gen flywheel?



Here's the deal:



T2 Motor and using a 93 flywheel (because it's lighter), but a 93 clutch is about 2x the price as a T2 Clutch.



I'm using a T2 transmission, can I use a T2 Clutch/Pressure Plate?

93 clutch is a pull type. Have never tried to fit T2 clutch to FD flywheel. Usually I'll use a billet flywheel if wanting to save mass

the Fd clutch is a pull type, if you're using a T2 trans, then you have to use the T2 clutch. except for being push or pull the clutches are the same, flywheels are compatible...

Excellent... That is what I was hoping to hear.



The reason I am using a 93 flywheel is it's lighter than the rest and I got a heck of a deal on a surfaced flywheel.

Well, thats not going to work too well, the FD and S5 have the same weight rotors so the counter weight on the FW is the same weight, unless your S4 was rebuilt using S5 internals it won't be balanced.

Part of the reason S5/FD FWs are lighter than S4 is because its balanced for lighter rotors.

Oh crap... I thought I just had to match the front counterweight to the flywheel.



Actually I don't know if they are S4 or S5 Rotors. Any easy way to tell?
