You shouldn't need a new counterweight if your car is manual and you're not changing the flywheel. What clutch did you buy? Who said you need the counterweight?

Competition clutch 1kit from red line 360 we had to buy the counter balance separate.

We did not change the flywheel Red Line said we needed it

I think Red Line is wrong. The counterweight lives behind the flywheel. If you're not touching the flywheel, you can bolt up whatever clutch you want like any other car.

Dear Colo,

You have brought more agreement to this thread than any other, in the history of RX8 Club.

The people who sold it to you should take it back.

Colo_lady1

Thank You everyone i will give it a shot and let you all know how it turns out and i will send it back to red line 360 it cost me $140.00.

THAT A PICTURE of the back side of the flywheel and the other is the counter weight i bought but there no way to hook them together is that for a automatic

Red line envy

Isnt this the only counter weight? And its on the other side of the engine. Behind front cover nowhere near the flywheel

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The stock flywheel IS the counterweight, so no extra rear counterweight is needed. If using an aftermarket flywheel, then you need to add a rear counterweight.

The front counterweight needs to stay where it is regardless.

Just put everything back together the way you found it, and bolt up your new clutch.

Thank you so very much now i can put my car back together and drive it once again before winter yepi

Colo_lady1
