i use stock heavy flywheel on my NA car......pushing 12K on it.....scary but true.

 

Yeah it's pretty rare to have a flywheel come off. Most of the problems come with the clutch and pressure plates.

 

I never shift past 8500 and still use a scatter shield. Mine bolts to the bellhousing and is a little harder to install a tranny with it since you have very little space between the shield and they tranny but I think it's well worth it even if not shifting at a high RPM.

 

Alright, I just got my scattershield today. I'm not overwhelmed with the quality but it looks like it will work. I'm going to have to re-inforce the weld joints, especially the one's on the passenger side as you can see. I also am going to paint it black. What do you guys think? I've seen alot worse that's for sure. hehe

 

a shield is like a condom you better have it and not need it than need it and not have it .................................................. ....................................

 

Well Said!! Spoken like a true professional

 

i allways have a few in my secret squirle spot i also have scatershields

 

^ If that's the case, then how come every latino family has like 8 kids?

 

dont matter how many you have at home , but i aint bringing home nothing for mama to catch

 

BS, we all know you have CRABS!

 

Well, so much for the idea of pulling my driveshaft down and slidinig this scattershield up and into place. My pinche trans tunnel is too narrow and it ain't going to happen. Going to have to remove the trans to get this turd in place.

I'm just going to make a cardboard scattershield and paint it black- the techs never check it anyway, they just look at it real quick. Besides my flywheel is in front of my firewall and in front of my feet so no worries there. Who cares if a spectator gets his head severed- it's all part of the risk you take when coming to watch. Totally kidding.

 

Any other options? The shop listed above in Tampa is out of stock for a few weeks....

 

That one that I bought had many problems. I had to do alot of modifications to make the sheild fit. I called the shop and told them what they needed to do so hopefully they fixed the problems.

 

thanks for the heads up.. I may just try and fab one up.. Tech is little to none here so its really for my peace of mind!

 

Well guys ive heard enough accidents and also deaths, from clutch explosions,, im on the market for one myself since 8k to 8.5 rpms is how i launch of the hole....
i have a stock 85 tranny and planning to go with a T2 anyone knows which shield exactly fits my application?
