| Purchased another fly wheel. *dt the consumer was informed there was nothing wrong with the redesigned flywheel and there must be another reason for it wearing out. the consumer took the vehicle to another mechanic for a second opinion and was told the original flywheels were made stronger and had different holes in them. the redesigned flywheel was much thinner and less expensive. *jb | |||
