Honda FK8 Civic Type R Flywheel - Genuine OEM (22100-5DE-013)
If you're doing a clutch on your FK8 Type R, this is the flywheel that goes back in. Honda part 22100-5DE-013 is the direct factory replacement for the K20C1, the exact 19 lb flywheel your Type R rolled off the line with. It bolts to the back of your crankshaft and gives your clutch a surface to grab, while its weight smooths out the engine and helps you launch and shift the way the car was tuned to. If yours is scored, heat-cracked, or worn from a slipping clutch, or you just want a fresh factory surface under your new clutch, this puts everything back to how Honda built it.
When You'd Replace The Flywheel
Most people get here as part of a clutch job, and that's exactly when you want to deal with it. A flywheel takes a beating every time the clutch engages, and over miles and hard launches the friction surface gets scored, glazed, or develops heat cracks and hot spots from a clutch that was slipping. Bolt a brand new clutch onto a chewed-up flywheel and you've kneecapped the whole job, the new disc can't bite a damaged surface evenly, so you get chatter, slipping, and a clutch that wears out way before it should. If your old flywheel's marked up, replace it. It's the foundation your clutch rides on, and it's right there in front of you with the transmission already out.
Stock Weight, Stock Behavior
This is the full-weight 19 lb factory flywheel, and that weight is doing a job. The mass smooths out the engine at idle and around town, keeps the car from being jumpy in stop-and-go traffic, and makes for easy, drama-free launches, which is exactly the daily-friendly character the Type R is known for. Lightweight aftermarket flywheels free up some rev response, but they also make the car buzzier, harder to launch smoothly, and can rattle at idle. If you want your Type R to drive like it did from the factory, the stock-weight flywheel is the right call. This is that flywheel, no compromise on how the car feels.
Why Genuine Honda For This One
A flywheel is a precision part. The friction surface has to be flat and true, and the whole thing has to be balanced to match your crank and clutch, or you get vibration and uneven wear. This is the genuine Honda piece, machined and balanced to the exact spec the K20C1 was built around, so your new clutch seats right and the driveline stays smooth. Since you've got the transmission out to do this, you want the part you know is correct, not a guess that might introduce a vibration you'll be chasing later.
Do It Right While You're In There
The transmission's already out, so set yourself up to not be back here soon. Replace the clutch and this flywheel together, and grab a fresh set of flywheel bolts since the factory ones are torque-to-yield and shouldn't be reused. It's also the perfect time for a new throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and rear main seal if it's weeping, all the stuff that's a pain to reach any other time. Knock it all out in one go and your Type R's driveline is good for the long haul.
