[QUOTE="Dhenderson, post: 13427895, member: 42755"] My experience is completely different from the poster above. I put in an '03 Cobra aluminum flywheel and Centerforce dual friction clutch in my '01 Cobra dd. It had a 3.73 gear and what a difference from the stock clutch/flywheel! I had read all the supposed problems on the internet with an al flywheel on the street, but decided to try it. To my surprise it was EASIER to start from a stop than an iron flywheel. With the stock flywheel when you let the clutch out the engine rpm came down slightly and then would rev up. With the aluminum it would rev right up from a dead stop without the slight rpm drop. I also didn't have the hanging rpm problem between shifts like before with the heavy iron flywheel. The engine was noticeably more responsive with the aluminum. The above poster may have had a different experience due to the dfx clutch and it's "grabbiness". I will never have a manual Mustang without an aluminum flywheel. Remember the '03-'04 Cobra comes with the aluminum flywheel, is heavier than the '99-01 Cobra, a 3.55 gear and there is no driveability issues with those cars. I think clutch selection definitely plays a part. [/QUOTE]
