Clutch Masters 11-14 Nissan Juke 1.6L Turbo 6-Speed Single Piece Steel Flywheel
The Clutch Masters FW-178-SF is a one-piece steel flywheel for the 2011-2014 Nissan Juke with the 1.6L turbo and six-speed manual. Juke owners usually land here in the middle of a clutch job: the stock clutch has started slipping once boost comes in, the engagement shudders, or the original flywheel face is glazed and heat-marked, and they want a solid replacement that can take a stronger clutch. One thing matters before anything else: Clutch Masters builds this flywheel to work with its own FX100 to FX500 single-disc kits only. It will not work with a factory clutch kit.
The flywheel bolts to the back of the crankshaft, carries the starter ring gear and gives the clutch disc the surface it clamps against. On a small turbo engine that makes its torque low in the rev range, that surface takes a lot of heat every time the clutch slips during a launch or a boosted shift. FW-178-SF is CNC machined by Clutch Masters in the USA from a 1045 steel billet core, zero balanced and black oxide coated, and the company certifies its flywheels to SFI 1.2 for motorsport use. Steel is the choice for a Juke that is still driven daily: it is lighter than the factory part but keeps more mass than aluminum, so takeoffs in traffic stay easy.
Flywheel trouble almost always shows up as a clutch symptom first. With the engine warm, put the car in fourth around 2,000 rpm and go to full throttle on a safe road; if rpm climbs faster than road speed, the disc is slipping. Our slipping diagnosis guide walks through that test, and our clutch chatter guide covers judder on engagement. If the pedal sits low or the clutch will not release, check the hydraulic system first, because a flywheel will not fix a failing slave cylinder.
Our listing covers the 2011-2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L turbo with the six-speed manual. Clutch Masters lists the same part for the Juke 1.6L turbo six-speed through 2017 and for the 2016-2019 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo 1.6L six-speed. It does not fit Jukes with the CVT, which have no clutch or flywheel. Because this flywheel pairs only with Clutch Masters kits, order the matching kit at the same time, such as the FX100 kit 06178-HD00-XH for a stock or lightly modified car, or the FX250 sprung organic kit for a tuned one. If you are unsure of your build, send us the year and VIN before ordering. More parts are in our rebuild kits category.
Install the flywheel with the transmission out and the old clutch removed. Clean the crankshaft flange and the bolt threads, and look hard at the rear main seal; any oil weep has to be fixed now or it will soak the new disc. Use new flywheel bolts with the thread locker and torque given in the Clutch Masters instructions, tightening in a cross pattern. Wipe the friction face with brake cleaner to remove the protective film, center the disc with an alignment tool like the Powerbuilt 8-piece pilot tool set, and draw the pressure plate down evenly. Bleed the clutch hydraulics with the brake fluid specified on the reservoir cap, then follow the Clutch Masters break-in procedure before any hard launches. Expect a little more gear rattle at idle than with the factory part.

No. Clutch Masters states this steel flywheel works only with its single-disc FX100 to FX500 clutch kits and will not work with OEM clutch kits.
Clutch Masters lists FW-178-SF for the 2016-2019 Sentra SR Turbo 1.6L six-speed as well as the Juke 1.6L turbo six-speed. Send us your VIN if you want us to confirm.
No. It is for the 1.6L turbo with the six-speed manual. CVT cars have no clutch or flywheel.
Clutch Masters publishes a shipping weight of 22 lb including the box. It does not list the bare flywheel weight.
Steel keeps more rotating mass, so takeoffs and stop-and-go driving stay smoother. It is the better pick for a car that still sees mostly street use.
A matching Clutch Masters clutch kit, new flywheel bolts, the pilot bearing if your engine uses one, and the rear main seal if it shows any leak.
