[QUOTE="The Chin, with the setup you have I would recommend the whole package (the multi piece flywheel is machinery art) but yeah that’s also an option probably should call up Goodwin or Clutch masters for expert advice.
Absolutely agree - very beautiful flywheel.
Put the same set up in my 2018 Abarth at the end of May - original gave up at just over 10k. Apparently not unusual from what I've read hear. Didn't want the same POS stock that came out so....
Aluminum flywheel, clutch & pp. Flywheel bolts from local Chrysler dealer. Torqued per spec in the TechAuthority manual from Mopar (way too expensive and a POS, the ford ones are better).
Piece of cake job - did it in the driveway in two days. Loved the results. Same Ducati noise.
Lasted < 200 miles in the rig and the car let me down on the side of the road.
According to the tech - clutch to flywheel bolts sheared off, causing engine to over rev! I saw them - yep, sheared right off.
Trashed the motor. I'll post some pics when I get the pieces back.
Their bolts, torqued to
their specs. Totaled the flywheel holes.
Tech believes valves are bent. Admits no way this should have happened. Everything was good to go. Why did the engine overrev?
I maintain bolts were defective, if you believe a rapid disconnect from the tranny caused this, which I don't.
It could also be the engine management system glitched and allowed the turbo to overspeed the motor (has anyone ever heard of this?).
It never should have happened. If the CPU or programming was bad and could not handle lighter flywheel - it still has a rev limiter on it! No way the engine could over rev and do what it did if CPU was functioning properly. Didn't see an overboost or see the high rev. If I recall yes, high speed shift into 5th, not anything unusual, though I was busy being confused by no engine at the time. Was a high speed up shift, NBD.
Don't know. All I know is dealer took one look and said, nope, not under warrantee 'cause you have an aftermarket clutch and flywheel. And BTW, a new 1.4 longblock is unobtanioum in the US and the job would cost in excess of $10k. So, if you go this route, realize your screwed on your warranty and on your own from there on out.
$1000 of clutch an flywheel toasted - $3000 for a takeout engine and tranny on the way plus $1000 for the mechanic to remove my tranny and oil pan (he says he was looking for not oil pressure) and lay all my parts in a cardboard box.
I'll probably rebuild and hop up the original eventually and swap it back back in. Pretty sure the multifuel block is shot, and the head. Might have a decent short block. Have to get the car back on the road as I'm getting ready to move to another state. Onward and upward. I could whine about, but what good.
Picks of the process are in the album - really is a piece of cake. I've done more clutches than I have fingers. BTW, I've you have a REAL long set of 3/8 extensions you don't need to droop the tranny.

Enjoy my challenging experience.
