I installed a new fork as well, same reason as above. I've got my used fork around somewhere if you want to see if it's in better shape than yours.

I don't think vibration is a likely reason for wear in those locations. I'd be more likely to think that lack of lubrication would play a role?

I put a dab of lithium grease this time but I can't imagine any grease having an affect for a duration of one clutch job-3 to 6 years?

Inspection of the flywheel revealed about 1-1/2” movement between the two pieces of the flywheel as opposed to ¾” for the new one. Also, the old one has a slight movement laterally. Some heat checking was on both the pressure plate and the flywheel but Phil thought they were normal – nothing to be concerned.

After 50K miles my flywheel was toast. I guess the PO abused it some.

130K miles - it seems you got your money's worth

Thanks for posting the pic and the detailed write up.

Hopefully it will be good for another 130,000.

One at 2 o'clock. Replacement unit off a another Z with about 5,000 miles also had one at 1 o'clock.

Hi All,

I it fair to say that most FW's only need one trim weight ?

Thanks

Don,

All flywheels are different because they are balanced to the engine @ the factory.

Hey Yun... Congrats on the successful renewal of your Z. I wish I could have been there to help. Are you going to Carlisle?
