Seth.H Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 hi all. I own an Australian 2004 Gen IV 2.5i liberty (american 2005-2009 model, feel sorry you got it 2 years later over there). I get a heavy shudder when taking off. I know its clutch related (long story involving stealership's, thrust bearings and dual mass flywheels) So i want to get rid of the whole stinkin assembly and replace it. I really want to know if you can use the OEM replacement Exedy KSB-04 clutch kit and the lightweight FF02 flywheel together, and if its compatible with my australian car. details for the replacement single mass job from the australian exedy site are: Size: 225mm, Spline OD: 25.2mm, No. of Teeth: 24. however the part numbers are very different to the american exedy part numbers. The exedy oem replacement single mass flywheel and clutch kit in australia is approx $950 - $1200 AU just for the parts, which is horrific. (I can get the KSB-04 and FF02 shipped to Australia for all of $600 AU) I also have a strange noise Grinding noise coming from the back end of the car going around right hand corners. its intermittant, but if i hit a decent sized bump on a gravel road it will do it until i drive it on bitumen again. i wasn't to worried but i was driving with the sunroof open today and heard the same noise when i turn left aswell. its similar to a wheel bearing noise, but not really. any suggestions would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You can use that combo the issues is people that try to keep the dual mass and use a different clutch. The splines are the same 24 T as both turbo and non turbo use the same crank. That flywheel should improve revving without throwing crankshaft position sensor codes.

Seth.H Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Cheers GEE-OTTO. hadn't thought of the crank positioning sensors, only one way to find out for certain though. still of two minds about changing it, I hate pulling gearboxes out of cars without a proper car hoist. although might have to do it sooner than later, the clutch keeps making that nice fruity burning smell if i take off in a hurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Yeah and the crank sensors are a precaution you may never see an CEL. Yuck i hate that smell dropping the gearbox does suck if not on a lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
