No

 

Whats the diffrence, could be the reason my clutch collapsed?

 

The 4x4 is heavier if i remember correct

you can use either in each car tho

 

They are all interchangable i.e. the clutch sits in the same place but weights differ by a large margin.

 

So ok using a 4x4 fly wheel in a 2wd or is it best to swap it for a 2wd one

 

Depends which model 4x4, there are three 4x4 flywheels!! But 2wd is the best bet..

 

Cool, cheers Mart.

 

Hi,

2wd flywheel is 8,5 kg (18,8 lb)
4 wd flywheel is 11,5 kg (25,5 lb)
(if my conversion is right !!!!)

So what is the logic of the heavier flywheel in the 4x4 out of interest?

JJ

 

Does the heavier flywheel give more torque

 

Sounds plausible I guess. I wondered if it was anything to do with the gear change becuase of the additional 'drag' caused by the 4x4 system effectively trying to slow the engine down on engagement (ie to reduce possibility of stall)?

JJ

 

would be plausible, so a better torque figure could be achieved if used

 

Hi,

Another reason, given by Ford, is heavier flywheel avoid gear box clatter, that it can exist with 4x4 MT75 gear box..

inertia

 

spot on- gives a smother gear change as the revs wont dip as much but also take longer to spin up
