Single Mass flywheel?
Is this what a single mass flywheel looks like?


Its got some of the teeth ground off. Problem or just normal wear??

Yep, that a single mass. That wear is just where the starter hits when it engages.

Yay, more money i can save! Lol, thanks Bill. next question, when I'm ordering a clutch it asks for what size in inches, which size did you get? I suppose it depends on the flywheel?

They are the same, unless you doing something crazy. just tell them what motor you have.

I got a new flywheel too, it's 13". If you get a Valair clutch, you'll have to know what kind of flywheel you have......Luk, Valeo, etc. They'll get all that info from you when you order.

You will also need to have your flywheel resurfaced but that should be way cheaper then a new one.

Look all the way around the side and on the back toward the engine for a number or something.
