and how I go about getting it done? I know it needs to be done by a machine shop. I have a McLeod street twin with steel flywheel waiting to go in, and I need the new flywheel balanced to the old one. What exactly does this mean? Do I have to take both flywheels to the machine shop, so they can make the new one match the old one, or can I just take the new one down and make sure it is balanced? I'm a bit confused about this whole process, I kinda know what's suppose to happen, just need to clarify a bit. Also, what should I expect to pay to have the flywheel balanced?

Thanks!

 

Good question!

I've been contemplating the t56 swap, and that is an issue that is unclear to me. Here's a bump. Maybe someone can speak to this issue.

 

I've got the notes on my McLeod flywheel balance/install at http://www.go-fast.org/z28/drivetrain.html. Scroll down and look for the big section of red text.

Alright, so since my motor is still original I need to take my old flywheel with me and have them match the McLeod flywheel to it. Then I should have my pressure plate neutrally balanced? Or is that just for a built motor?

 

I would, as long as they're at it.

Dave

 

Wouldn't you have the flywheel balanced with the pressure plate bolted to it, instead of balancing the plate seperately?

 

good question

 

Seems to me that'd be fine, assuming that all the time your engine is running, the pressure plate would be spinning with the flywheel. It isn't, is it? (I'm serious, I haven't ever pulled a tranny off, but I didn't think it was "attached").

Anybody know the answer to this?

 

The pressure plate definitely bolts to the flywheel. The clutch disc floats if not engaged.
