Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra and 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT: If replacing the flywheel on a manual transmission, note the position and length of the original flywheel weights (if applicable). Flywheel weights of the same length must be installed into the NEW flywheel in the same location as the old weights were in the old flywheel.

Note the position of the old flywheel weights and install the NEW flywheel weights as required.
A properly installed flywheel weight will be flush or slightly below flush with the face of the flywheel.
