Fidanza 96-00 Ford Contour 2.5L Aluminum Flywheel

Fidanza is known for making well-built performance parts, and this aluminum flywheel for your 1996-2000 Ford Contour is a great example. If you're looking to free up some extra horsepower and get a quicker-revving engine, this is a solid option. It's designed to be significantly lighter than the stock flywheel, which means less rotational mass for the engine to spin up.

This flywheel is constructed from Billet 6061 T6 or 2024 T4 aluminum, making it 40-60 percent lighter than stock. This lower moment of inertia (MOI) translates directly into faster throttle response, so you'll feel a difference when you get on the gas. The friction plate is heat-treated for a good grip and long life, and it's even replaceable. Plus, it uses military-spec fasteners for added reliability, and most applications include stepped dowels for precise alignment.

This flywheel is a bolt-on replacement for your original, but you'll want to make sure you have a new clutch kit to go with it. The hardened steel ring gear is also replaceable, which is a nice touch for long-term serviceability.
