im trying it out, using the lighter 5spd flywheel on my 6spd legend! the parts the shop were worried about working right seem to be ok now since they are the same part numbers as the 5spd.... if this works it will mean we(the 6spd owners) will be able to use the lighter faster reving 5spd flywheel and stronger overall clutch with our tranny's... i just hope it all works
5spd clutch assembly. on my 6spd...

what dv8 said,the 6 speed will be very heavy almost 40 lbs and it is two pieces and the top piece rotates a little bit. and if you have the 5spd flywheel then you will need a 5spd clutch

i just tried to save someone else from doing that in another post, the dual mass is used becuase our cars were a top of the line luxury car, and had to have that extra easy engagement, thats why they used that. atleast thats the only thing i can come up withKevin said:Dammm Man u make me feel bad now. I paid a grand for a new flywheel. If I would of known befor i could of saved some money and gain some performance. Wats the used of the dual mass anyways!!!!!!!
dual mass flywheels are dived into two parts. One of them is bolted to the crankshaft and the other is bolted to the clutch pressure plate. In between them, there is a spring and damping system, which isolates the engine vibration from transferring.Khoozzz said:
there are pros and cons of each type of flywheel. The majority of the buyers, when buying the car, sees the legend more as a luxury car than a sporty car. It would be more wise for honda to use the dual mass setup to please the majority out there.
This isn't to say that the 5spd flywheel wouldn't work, as you can see, its been done before

Then wouldn't a Type-I crank-pulley do the trick to create a harmonic balance?Dave C ver2.0 said:

So no excessive vibration with the 5spd flywheel on the 6spd? How about engagement and all around smoothness when driving?
I agree that acura chos the dual mass because the legend is a luxury car with sporty attributes, but would they also have chosen it to protect the tranny from excessive vibration damage? (i wonder if its like the miata 6 speeds, sensitive to excessive abuse)
Lets hear how things are going for you!

i dont notice any wierd vibrations, idles a lil high still cant seem to adjust it so it idles right (about 1k) but it is as smooth as a 5spd legend, i think its smoother than the 6spd. clutch ass., i still need to go to the track i haven't had very many days off from work to get to the track. (and need to get better tires before i go). i am really interested when DV8 gets his setup in.A-P Legend said:
