Clutch Masters Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel - 2007-2008 Acura TL Type S & 2008-2012 Honda Accord V6
Want your TL Type S or Accord V6 to feel a lot more alive, revving quicker and snapping to throttle instead of feeling like it's dragging a weight around? That's exactly what a lightweight flywheel does. And if you're already pulling the transmission for a clutch, this is the moment to do it, since you're right there anyway. This Clutch Masters aluminum flywheel sheds a big chunk of rotational weight off your J-series V6 and wakes the whole car up.
What A Lighter Flywheel Actually Does
Here's the deal, and it's a bigger change than you'd expect from one part. Your stock flywheel is heavy, and the engine has to spin all that mass up and down every time you get on or off the throttle. Drop that weight and suddenly the engine revs up faster, blips quicker for downshifts, and responds the instant you ask, so the car feels sharper, more eager, and more connected to your right foot. On a naturally aspirated V6 like these, that snappier response is the whole point, the engine isn't fighting a heavy stock flywheel anymore, so it just feels more willing everywhere.
Let's be straight about the trade, though, because it's worth knowing. With less flywheel mass, launching from a dead stop takes a slightly lighter touch at first, and idle can feel a touch less buttery than dead stock. It's a quick adjustment, most people love it within a day, but if you want factory-limo smoothness above all else, know that's the give-and-take. For anybody who wants the car to feel more alive, it's an easy call.
Built To Last And To Be Serviced
This is where Clutch Masters does it right. It's cut from 6061-T6 billet aluminum in a two-piece design, and that two-piece setup dissipates heat better and is more serviceable than a one-piece chromoly flywheel. The friction surface is high-carbon steel, and here's the good part, it's replaceable, so it works with any clutch friction material and you can renew just the wear surface down the road instead of buying a whole new flywheel. The starter ring gear is high-carbon heat-treated steel, held on with military-grade fasteners, so the thing that your starter grabs every time you fire the car up stays put and stays solid.
Certified And Backed
You're not gambling on this one. Every flywheel meets or exceeds SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2, which is the safety and performance standard tech inspectors actually look for at the track, so you're covered if you take the car out to run it. And Clutch Masters backs it with a limited lifetime warranty, so there's real confidence behind it.

Note: Clutch Masters lightweight aluminum flywheel for the 2007-2008 Acura TL Type S and 2008-2012 Honda Accord V6 with a manual transmission. Machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum in a two-piece design for better heat dissipation and serviceability than a one-piece chromoly flywheel. Reducing rotational mass lets the engine rev up and respond faster for sharper throttle response and a more eager feel; on these naturally aspirated V6s that improved responsiveness is the main benefit. Note that less flywheel mass means launching from a stop takes a slightly lighter touch and idle may feel marginally less smooth than stock. Features a replaceable high-carbon-steel friction surface compatible with any clutch friction material, and a high-carbon heat-treated steel starter ring gear secured with military-grade fasteners. Meets or exceeds SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 and is backed by a Clutch Masters limited lifetime warranty. A natural upgrade to do alongside a clutch replacement. One flywheel per order.
