I need to source a flywheel from a vs ecotec, i believe there were 2 boxes used in them the T5 and Getrag if im correct, my question is the same flywheel used for both boxes or are they different?

Also will vs ecotec extractors fit on a vx ecotec , i dont mean as in the piping running through the engine bay with clearance etc , but as in fitting on the block, its being used as a conversion into a hilux

cheers

The Getrag runs a dual mass flywheel whilst the T5 runs a conventional flywheel. They don't interchange.

Good luck with that one champ :p

You will be looking forever.... The clutch in my car is made from 3 different peices :) Its a nightmare to find T5 clutch components to fit an ecotec, and if you do find them at a wrecker, they wont part with them unless they sell u a whole conversion kit, and to fit an ecotec, that will be big $$$

$275 seems very steep for a used flywheel but I guess they can charge what they want because people will buy them either way. But may I ask where this other wreckers is? Maybe they might like to trade it for a 6 bolt that I have no use for :p.

they are pretty hard to find so i guess they can charge what they want, still better than $800 brand new from holden or $650 for a billett flywheel which still needs to be balanced,

the other place is

FYI, there are solid flywheel kits available for the Ecotec + Getrag. Pretty much all the HD clutch kits come with them.
