Question : Where can i find a flywheel and clutch kit?

[steevnz34]

Im looking for an aluminum flywheel and clutch kit or any other performance clutch parts for my 93 lumina Z-34. Does anyone know where to find this stuff?

[robertisaar]

SPEC would have better clutches(pricey though...)... not sure about the flywheel.

[steevnz34]

yeah ive seen what spec has to offer but not sure if im willing to spend that much yet. And the only performance flywheels ive seen are in fieros with aluminum fidanza ones, but when i look for these they say they dont make them.

[94GPGTP]

i dont think theres a aftermarket flywheel for the 284.. You can pretty much only get a aftermarket clutch..

[steevnz34]

So you are saying these guys that have fieros with the 3.4 dohc and are using fidanza aluminum flywheels are full of it? or is the flywheel matched to the tranny and not the engine?

yea the flywheels are matched to the tranny. The lightweights are for 282's. U could spend the money on a lightweight and find out if the clutch will bolt to it or not. All the 60v6 flywheels will interchange.

[steevnz34]

Thanks for the info. I will check out the price of the flywheel and go from there.

Contradict yourself much?

Since when? That also contradicts your previous statements since "the 60v6 flywheels will interchange" meaning a flywheel for a 282 car would fit a 284 car... Considering you need your flywheel to bolt to your crank, and tooth spacing to be correct on the ring gear for the starter to mesh right, I would say they are more machined for the engine than the tranny.

The Rockauto.com listing for a Rhino Pac flywheel for a 92 Z34 (284) lists these vehicles that their flywheel will fit in:

CHEVROLET LUMINA 1990
CHEVROLET LUMINA EURO (1990 - 1993)
CHEVROLET LUMINA Z34 (1991 - 1993)
CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP (1994 - 2003)
GMC SONOMA (1994 - 2002)
ISUZU HOMBRE (1996 - 2000)
OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME 1991
OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME INTERNATIONAL (1991 - 1992)
OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME S 1992
OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME SL 1991
PONTIAC GRAND PRIX (1989 - 1993)
PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT (1991 - 1993)
PONTIAC GRAND PRIX LE (1989 - 1993)
PONTIAC GRAND PRIX MCLAREN 1990
PONTIAC GRAND PRIX SE (1989 - 1992)
PONTIAC GRAND PRIX STE (1990 - 1993)

And we all know, any W body that got a manual that didn't have a 284 was a 282 (which would account for the 89-90 GPs) since the 284 was only used from 91-93 (in the Z34, GTP, STE and Cutty INTL.).

You MUST remove the wieght that's on the flywheel though, Thats how the fiero guy's do it because the 3.4 DOHC is internally balanced.

I wouldn't go with that light wieght flywheel if your using it in a w-body because of the wieght of the car VS. the power output, unless you have a lot of power, otherwise you will regret it after. I've seen it first hand.

If your building a turbo 3.4 DOHC and have the power, great!

Or Lighten your car a lot......

that heavy ass flywheel makes for easy launches in the G6(but the super low 1st helps too). all 1st gen and 1.5 gen Ws are lighter than the G6 (IIRC), but some of the Gen 2/3 are heavier.

[94GPGTP]

i will try to bold my spare 282 pressure plate to my 284 flywheel.. if it does then the lightweight 282 fylwheel will work on the 284..

[94GPGTP]

Ok so heres my input.. The 282 Pressure plate bolts to the 284 Flywheel.. So therefor the flywheels are the same.. But... Now with the Fidenza Lightweight it has a removeable insert.. The clutch disc for the 282 is smaller than the 284 and the 284 uses more of the flyweel than the 282.. So is the insert for the lightweight big enough? i see that the wear marks on the 284 flywheel are pretty close to the edge where the bolts are for the pressure plate and since the 282 disc is smaller its further away from the bolts for the pressure plate.. Thats y im thinking possibly the insert might not be big enough.. Heres some pictures..

I would like to also add.. All these Fiero guys are using 282's not 284's so the Fidenza is avaiable for them to use on the 282.. There has to be a reason why they dont make it for the 284 and even so the flywheels are the same why is it not listed with the 282 vehicles then??..

[no_doz]

ive heard a bit about the fidanza flywheels shearing off & slicing through the trans casing/flying out-not sure if its true but thats enough for me to stay away!

also if you havent watched this video-its great info
