Clutch Masters 13-17 Cadillac ATS 2.0L 6-Speed Aluminum Flywheel

In this kit, you get a Clutch Masters aluminum flywheel, part number FW-302-AL. This flywheel is specifically made for the 2.0L engine and 6-speed manual transmission found in the 2013 through 2017 Cadillac ATS. A flywheel is a crucial part of your clutch system, acting as the connection between the engine and the transmission. It stores rotational energy from the engine, smoothing out power delivery and providing a surface for the clutch disc to engage with.

This particular flywheel is constructed from aluminum, which makes it significantly lighter than a stock cast iron flywheel. This weight reduction means less rotational mass for the engine to spin up, which can lead to quicker engine response and a more eager feel when you accelerate. The lighter weight also helps the engine rev more freely. Clutch Masters is known for making well-built clutch components, and this aluminum flywheel is designed to be a direct replacement for your original part, ensuring it fits right without modification. It's important to note that when installing a lighter flywheel, you might notice a slight change in how the engine idles or how it behaves at very low RPMs, as there's less mass to keep it spinning smoothly.

When you're replacing your flywheel, it's a good time to inspect your clutch disc, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. Many people choose to replace these components at the same time to ensure a complete and reliable clutch job. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding torque specifications and any required break-in procedures for your new flywheel.
