My First Problem : Flywheel
Ive had my 94 z28 for around three months now and i have a problem. My flywheel is ground down to the bone...almost. There is one spot in particular that i can see wear on the grooves. I have been looking for replacements and I no nothing about flywheels for the 6-Speed LT1's. Can anyone help me out and give me a link to a good one, or just some old-fasioned advise to help me with my problem?

I think the flywheels for these cars are kind of expensive. There maybe a few aftermarket ones out there. I know they are a pretty big hunk of steel with the ring gear built in. Try our spensor vendors they should sell flywheels.'95 Formula A4, 17"x9" wheels, F1 275/40-ZR17, TB bypass, 160 deg. TS, LS1 drive shaft, WS6 muffler, LCA, tie rod Soon to be LT4 heads intake and HOT cam. -

Its the outside notches of the flywheel. Supposedly when you stop your car the flywheel stops at the same spot, over time a spot can be worn down on the wheel since it starts from that point all the time......right?
Also if i would rotate the wheel a quarter turn to the left or right, would it then act as if i put in a new wheel since it would be grabbing new teeth at start-up

I believe you have the 168 tooth starter ring gear and I would think it would be very unusual for the same spot on your ring gear to stop right at the starter often enough to wear that one spot that heavily. Can post some pics?
They have a stock replacement flywheel at GM Parts Direct for about $170. Or you could go with a much lighter aluminum flywheel for about $450.Comment

You can get just the ring gear for the flywheel and have it put on if you don't need a whole new flywheel.
Your problem is more likely from poor starter alignment or bad gear on the starter. It is not normal for a particular spot to wear out on the flywheel ring gear.Rob B 95Z A4 Tech Page (Part numbers / locations, how to's, schematics, DTC's...) Home Page - shbox.comComment
