I've got a weird flywheel situation...
So I'm in the process of replacing my clutch on my SE and after several roadblocks, I've reached a particularly strange one.
I decided to reuse the aluminum flywheel that was in there when I got it. Before removing the old friction material and giving it a nice clean, I order a fresh material from Racing Beat. It arrives, but just doesn't seem to fit. I determine it must be the aluminum Mazdatrix flywheel and go to order that. But before I do I make one last check comparing the materials.
The old material I removed is 215 mm, as opposed to the 225 mm Racing Beat one. So my GSL-SE was using what I believe to be an aluminum RB flywheel... for a 12A.
I mean... is this okay? I have no clue yet what to do here.
I can't seem to find exact replacement 215 mm material anywhere. Assuredly I want to run a lightweight flywheel again, but in order to do this right I need a new 225 mm flywheel (which isn't currently available on RB) and a GSL-SE counterweight. I'm really not sure if the counterweight I have is for a 12A or 13B either. I'd rather not spend the ~$600 for new flywheel stuff if I can manage using the one I have again.
I'm gonna call RB in the morning to see if they can help me out with this as well.
Thanks.
