Title: looking for a flywheel for a manual trans
Post by: 35chevcoupe on August 25, 2021, 09:35:10 PM
I'm going to be needing another flywheel for a manual trans 401 or 425 , anyone have any leads ?
I know they are repopping them but a little hesitant on the quality . Has anyone here bought one of the repops yet ?

T/A are steel & good quality. Have had it up to 7K & beyond. No problems. Just be careful & check diameter of ring gear & placement. Don't know abour Centerforece. Probably gets them from T/A.  Also Carmen Faso from JC parts in N.Y.

American Powertrain makes the steel flywheels for TA Performance.
Bill put one of theirs in his 455 Special. Got a pretty good deal somehow.
