Are all Subaru flywheels the same?
No, not all Subaru flywheels are the same. There are different types of flywheels used in Subaru vehicles, depending on the model and specific application. The design and specifications of the flywheel can vary, including factors such as the pitch circle diameter (PCD) and the type of clutch used. For example, in the 1990s, Subaru used flat-faced flywheels with different PCDs for different applications. Additionally, there are lightweight flywheels available that can reduce rotational mass and improve engine response and performance. It is important to select the appropriate flywheel that is compatible with your specific Subaru model and clutch system.

Should I replace flywheel at same time as clutch?
Usually, by the time the clutch plate needs to be replaced, the flywheel also needs to be replaced. They will clunk, clatter & eventually fail. Given how much it costs to replace a clutch plate, it is usually false economy to not replace the dual mass flywheel.
What’s the difference between a dual mass flywheel and a normal flywheel?
The benefits of a dual mass flywheel are smooth operation and dampening of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). A single mass flywheel provides a direct contact between the engine and clutch assembly.
What are the two different types of flywheel?
Types of Flywheel
- Solid Disc Flywheel.
- Rimmed Flywheel.
- High Velocity Flywheel.
- Low-velocity Flywheel.
What’s the difference in flywheels?
The energy required to spin up a single-mass flywheel is much less than that of a dual-mass, meaning your car will be much more responsive. The biggest difference can be seen in cars with lower power outputs. A car with 150 horsepower will spend a significant amount of its power rotating the flywheel.
How can you tell the difference between a STI and a WRX?
The most obvious distinction of the WRX STI is the “STI” badge, signifying the WRX STI’s higher performance level and unique features. The WRX STI is widely known for its large rear spoiler, which is more prominent than the spoiler on the standard WRX.
What type of flywheel do I need?
Proper flywheel choice for a given application is dictated by several factors: engine power, vehicle weight, Low-gear ratio, and rear-axle ratio. The more torque the engine makes, the lighter the flywheel can be. Likewise, the lighter the car and the higher the gear ratio (numerically), the lighter the flywheel.
How can you tell the difference between a WRX and a WRX STI?
The main differences between the WRX and the WRX STI come into play with the powertrain. While both cars offer excellent performance, it’s clear that the WRX is aimed at high-powered daily driving while the STI is more focused on track capability.
Are Subaru flywheels interchangeable?
For the Subaru applications which use them, the damped flywheels always interchange with the equivalent single mass models and their clutches.
Do you have to remove engine to change flywheel?
How do you remove and replace an engine flywheel? Take the engine out of the car; remove everything that stops you from getting at the flywheel; remove the flywheel fastening mechanisms and pull of the flywheel.
Are WRX and STI flywheel the same?
They are not the same flywheel. The STI flywheel surface has a step down and the 02-05 WRX is flat surface. The WRX clutch is 230mm and the STI’s is 240mm.
