Exedy 1992-1998 Eagle Talon Tsi L4 Lightweight Flywheel

If you're looking to get more responsiveness out of your 1992-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, especially if it's been lightly tuned for racing or spirited street driving, a lightweight flywheel like this one from Exedy can make a notable difference. This part is designed to reduce rotational mass, which means your engine can rev up and down more quickly. This is particularly beneficial in situations where you're frequently shifting gears, like in autocross, rally, or drag racing, but it also makes the car feel more lively during everyday driving.

Exedy builds these flywheels from a solid piece of billet chromoly steel, a strong material known for its durability and ability to handle heat. Unlike some other lightweight flywheel designs that might press on a steel ring gear, this Exedy unit integrates the ring gear directly into the billet steel. This one-piece construction helps prevent issues that can arise from different metals expanding at different rates under heat, ensuring the ring gear stays securely in place. The design also incorporates features to help improve airflow and keep your clutch assembly cooler, which is crucial for consistent performance, especially during demanding use. These flywheels have undergone rigorous testing, passing engineering tests up to 18,000 rpm and are SFI approved, meaning they meet strict safety standards for racing applications.

This Exedy flywheel weighs in at 12.0 lbs, significantly less than a stock unit, and is designed as a direct replacement for your original part. It's a solid option for anyone looking to improve their vehicle's acceleration and throttle response. Remember to consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for specific installation procedures and any other components you might need to replace or inspect while the transmission is out, such as the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing.
