Lightweight flywheel, 200 mm. VW Type 1. Porsche 356  ❭  008200FVW

Lightweight Flywheel, 200 mm. 
Improve engine responsiveness and enhance driving performance with this OE Match Lightweight Flywheel, 200mm. Produced to OE-style specifications, this precision-engineered lightweight flywheel is designed to provide the correct mounting dimensions and clutch interface for compatible Porsche models while significantly reducing rotational mass. Manufactured from high-quality forged steel and precision balanced for smooth operation, it delivers exceptional strength, excellent resistance to heat and fatigue, and long service life, making it ideal for performance applications, engine rebuilds, maintenance, and restoration projects.

Fits:

• Porsche 356 1950-55
• Porsche 356A 1955-59
• Porsche 356B 1959-63
• Porsche 356C 1963-65  

The flywheel is a critical component of the engine and transmission assembly, storing rotational energy while providing the friction surface for the clutch. A lightweight flywheel reduces rotational inertia, allowing the engine to rev more freely and respond more quickly to throttle inputs, resulting in sharper acceleration and improved gear changes. Over time, repeated clutch engagement, thermal cycling, and high operating loads can cause the flywheel surface to become scored, warped, heat-spotted, or cracked, reducing clutch performance and drivability. Replacing a worn flywheel restores reliable clutch operation while delivering the performance benefits of a lightweight design.  

What This Product Does:

• Stores rotational energy while reducing rotating mass.
• Provides the friction surface for the clutch assembly.
• Improves throttle response and engine acceleration.
• Supports smooth clutch engagement and disengagement.
• Reduces drivetrain inertia for quicker engine response.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or heat-damaged flywheels.
• Provides an OE-style fit for straightforward installation.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:

• Clutch judder during engagement.
• Excessive drivetrain vibration.
• Heat spots or scoring on the flywheel surface.
• Warped or cracked flywheel caused by overheating.
• Difficulty achieving smooth clutch engagement.
• Premature clutch wear or persistent clutch slippage.
• Damage identified during clutch replacement or engine overhaul.

Why Replacement Matters:

• The flywheel provides the connection between the engine and transmission while supplying the precision-machined friction surface required for proper clutch operation. A worn or damaged flywheel can lead to vibration, clutch judder, inconsistent engagement, and accelerated wear of new clutch components. A lightweight flywheel further improves engine response by reducing rotational inertia, making it particularly well suited to spirited road driving and performance-focused applications.
• Replacing a worn flywheel with this lightweight OE Match component restores dependable clutch performance while improving throttle response, engine flexibility, and overall driving enjoyment. Manufactured as a direct replacement and produced to OE-style specifications, this OE Match Lightweight Flywheel, 200mm provides reliable fit, strength, and long-lasting performance for Porsche maintenance, performance upgrades, repairs, and restoration projects.
