Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK, FIDANZA FLYWHEEL INSTALLED!

I'm so happy that i finally got my car back. I got a new transmission under warantee and a fidanza flywheel installed. First impressions of the flywheel is better responsiveness and quicker revs. I haven't pushed it cause i'm breakin in the new tranny. I heard driving was gonna be difficult, but i haven't had any problems.

break it in and report back to us

Congrats dude! Glad to hear there isn't much of a difference in the get go

Did you do clutch to?

how'd you get the dealer to install the aftermarket flywheel ALONG with the new tranny? any comments on the warranty coverage?

they charged me $65 for the install, new tranny is under warrantee still. Its brand new, not remanufactured so i can't imagine having trouble with it. In fact i believe it is a direct '00 replacement because my TRD short shifter is still in and the gates feel the same.

I had the TRD USA clutch installed the first time they rebuilt my tranny. So right now i got TRD USA clutch and Fidanza flywheel.

good deal. hopefully i can afford the quaife lsd, trd lightweight flywheel and a replacment jdm trd clutch plate before my 100,000 powertrain warranty runs out because i know my synchros are bad (just not bad enough for toyota to repair it under warranty right now; was already denied because of lack of symptoms: dummies don't know the frustration of being stuck in gear when you're downshifting in a turn or trying to move from a stop).

Yeah, i had to go down to the dealership twice to drive it and show them the symptoms. Mine grinded when i slowed down and downshifted from 4th to 3rd. Also, the would not install a LSD and still warantee the transmission, i was planning on doing a LSD.

nice, maybe you can go play with it over our one day off that we get from Campbell for Easter.
