Flywheel Size

OK I'm sitting here thinking, which is a bad thing. Is there anything I need to watch out for when I go looking for a flywheel for my 7.3?

It has a flexplate on it now. I may have got me a line on a 5 speed OD and I would really like to go manual over automatic.

Are you moving up to a LUK clutch or staying with the Dual mass flywheel system, check out the benefits of LUK.

Good question, one that I have no answer for. Guess its off to the forum search to see what I can find on clutches.

the LUK clutch kit with a solid flywheel is better and cheeper than the dual mass flywheel alone
