Remove 12.8 lbs at the crank
Reducing rotational inertia at the crank transforms the low to mid range response of the S85.
Forged Carbon Steel.
This material is used by Motorsports team for its higher density than aluminum. It enables TTV Racing to machine the flywheel to a tighter, smaller package.
Compatible with OE clutch & software.
Retain the high quality OE Sachs dual-disc clutch along with OE software.
High speed balanced.
The flywheel is balanced in-house at TTV to ensure a trouble free function.
build journal: a special series
The anxiety, and reality.
On most M cars, lightweight flywheels are a controversial modification subjective to noise & daily drivability tolerances.
I was anxious to fit this to my S85 SMG3. It is, after all, just a manual transmission with an hydraulic pump!
Not exactly.
In this Special Series on the V10's Build Journal, I document the unboxing, installation and driving impressions with this flywheel fitted.

Installation Notes
The installation is relatively straight forward, for a professional. I don't consider this an easy DIY.
Chat with your local mechanical to determine if any useful while you're-in-there maintenance is useful.
Required Hardware
The TTV flywheel is designed to fit with 9x Grade 12.9 bolts in M12x1.5x35mm dimensions. I used the ARP bolt kit #: 764-1003.
