I just got my HKS GD Clutch Max. And the counterweight did not come with the clutch. The flywheel is suposed to be bolted to the counterweight. Does eny one know the partnumer or where i can get this counter weight?

Oh and a english instruction manual would be great. Is there eny one that have one they could mail me?

I'm not sure about the HKS flywheel, but the stock flywheel is held to the eccentric shaft by that big *** nut. The driveplate on automatics bolts to the counterwheight, but if you're using a clutch, then I assume it is not an automatic. Maybe you could clarify.

 

If that wasn't clear enough, if you are using a stock flywheel, you do not use a counterweight. There is a 2 1/8" nut holding the flywheel to the engine. That's it. I thought that was the case for all flywheels, but I could be wrong. Is the HKS a twin plate or something?

 

The counterweight is a part of the original flywheel. But i need just the counterweight, that is needed when u use lightend flywheel.

 

And this was with a manual transmission? I'm befuddled now, because the only time I've ever seen a rear counterweight on an FD is on an auto. Can you take a picture?

 

Yes it's a manual. And i need a counterweight, cause the counterweight is fastend by the bolt and the flywheel is bolted to the counterweight. Il scan the japaneese manual tomorow.

It would be much more easy if i had a english manual.

Found out where i can get the counterweight. now all i need is a manual.

 

i think racing beat sells counter weights

 

I orderd a original one frome Mazdatrix.com

 

The counterweight is a stock part for auto FDs. All aftermarket flywheels I know of bolt to a counterweight. I assume it's easier for aftermarket manufacturers to make blanced flywheels and leave the counter-balancing (which the 13B needs b/c of how the rotors weight is distributed around the excentric axle) up to a readily available stock part.

 

yup, u will need the stock automatic couter weight to run the HKS lightened flywheel.

 

Bit of a long shot since this post was in 2004, but does anyone have these English instructions for HKS GD Max clutch? Have searched everywhere
