Clutch Masters 07-11 Nissan Sentra Spec V 2.5L Aluminum Flywheel
Clutch Masters FW-074-AL is a billet aluminum flywheel for the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with the 2.5L four-cylinder and manual gearbox. Spec V owners usually look for one in two situations: the clutch is coming out anyway and the original flywheel is scored, heat-spotted or chattering, or the car is being set up for autocross and track days where a lighter rotating assembly lets the engine rev up and drop faster between shifts. If you are searching for a lightweight flywheel for a 2007-2012 Spec V, this is the Clutch Masters part number for that car.
The flywheel bolts to the rear of the crankshaft. It carries the ring gear the starter engages, gives the clutch disc its friction face, and stores rotating energy that smooths out the engine pulses at idle and low speed. Clutch Masters machines this one from billet aluminum to cut that stored energy. Less mass on the crank means quicker throttle response and faster rev changes, which helps rev-matched downshifts and recovering RPM after an upshift.
There is a trade. A lighter flywheel can make the car easier to stall when pulling away, may idle a little less smoothly, and can let more gear rattle through at low RPM. On a street-driven Spec V that is a matter of adjusting your launch technique; on a dedicated track car it is rarely noticed. Our lightweight vs stock flywheel guide covers how much you gain and give up.
Make sure the problem is the clutch and flywheel, not hydraulics. A low or contaminated clutch fluid reservoir or a weak slave cylinder can stop the clutch from releasing and cause grinding shifts. For slip, put the car in a high gear at low speed and go to full throttle: if engine RPM climbs and road speed does not follow, the clutch is slipping. Our slipping diagnosis guide explains that test. Once the transmission is out, inspect the old flywheel for cracks near the bolt circle and heat damage; the resurface vs replace guide helps with that decision. For budgeting the whole job, see what manual transmission work typically costs.
Our listing reads 2007-2011 Nissan Sentra Spec V 2.5L. Clutch Masters lists FW-074-AL for the 2007-2012 Sentra 2.5L SE-R Spec V. It is not listed for the 2.0L Sentra or the standard SE-R, and any Sentra with an automatic or CVT uses a flexplate rather than a flywheel, so this part does not apply to those cars. If the car has had a transmission or engine swap, or you are not sure which trim you have, send us the year and VIN before ordering. Other clutch and flywheel parts are in our rebuild kits and clutch collection.
FW-074-AL is new, in stock, ships from the USA the same business day, and has a 1-year warranty.

Clutch Masters lists it for the 2007-2012 Nissan Sentra 2.5L SE-R Spec V. Our listing title reads 2007-2011. It is not listed for the 2.0L Sentra or the standard SE-R.
No. This is the flywheel only. Fit a clutch kit made for the Spec V and confirm with the clutch maker that it is meant for this flywheel.
It can make stalling on takeoff easier and may add some gear rattle at idle. Most drivers adapt their launch within a few days; the benefit is quicker revving and faster shifts.
Clutch Masters sells replacement steel inserts for its aluminum flywheels. Contact them before machining the friction face so the correct surface and height are kept.
Replace the clutch kit and pilot bearing if your engine uses one, use clean or new flywheel bolts, and bleed the clutch hydraulics with fresh brake fluid.
