What is the main benefit of an aluminum flywheel over a stock one?

An aluminum flywheel is significantly lighter than a stock steel flywheel. This reduced rotational mass allows your engine to rev up and down more quickly, leading to improved acceleration and a more responsive feel.

Does this flywheel come with new bolts or a pilot bearing?

This Clutch Masters aluminum flywheel (FW-147-AL) typically includes the flywheel itself. It is recommended to purchase new flywheel bolts and a new pilot bearing separately, as these are often single-use or wear items that should be replaced during clutch service.

What other parts should I consider replacing when installing this flywheel?

When replacing a flywheel, it's best practice to also replace the clutch disc, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. Inspecting and replacing the rear main seal and pilot bearing is also highly recommended to avoid future issues.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more responsiveness out of your 2009-2014 Acura TL SH-AWD, especially if you're upgrading the clutch system, an aluminum flywheel is a smart move. This flywheel from Clutch Masters is designed to reduce rotational mass, which means your engine can rev up and down more quickly. This translates to a snappier feel when you accelerate and can make the car feel more eager to change gears.

Clutch Masters is known for making well-built drivetrain components, and this aluminum flywheel is no exception. It's made from a solid aluminum alloy that's significantly lighter than a stock steel flywheel. This weight reduction is the key to its performance benefit, allowing the engine to overcome inertia more easily. The friction surface is typically designed for good engagement with clutch discs, and it's important to ensure it's properly resurfaced or cleaned before installation to mate well with your new clutch kit. This flywheel is a direct replacement for the factory unit, meaning it bolts up to your crankshaft without modification, but it's a performance upgrade that changes how the engine responds.

When installing a new flywheel, it's always a good idea to inspect your clutch components. This includes checking the pilot bearing and rear main seal for leaks. Since this is a performance-oriented part, consider pairing it with a performance clutch disc and pressure plate from Clutch Masters or another reputable brand to get the most out of the reduced rotational mass. Always follow the manufacturer's torque specifications when installing the flywheel bolts and ensure they are properly secured.
