Clutch Masters 13-17 Cadillac ATS 2.0L 6-Speed Aluminum Flywheel
The Clutch Masters FW-302-AL is a lightweight aluminum flywheel for the Cadillac ATS with the 2.0L turbo four and the six-speed manual, 2013-2017 on our listing. Most buyers land here for one of two reasons: the factory dual-mass flywheel has started to rattle, shudder or clunk, or they are installing a Clutch Masters FX-series clutch to hold the extra torque from a tune and need the flywheel that kit is built around. The manual ATS is a rare car, so getting the conversion right the first time matters.
Cadillac fitted the manual 2.0T with a dual-mass flywheel: two discs tied together by internal springs that damp the pulses of a small turbo four before they reach the gearbox. It is smooth when new, but the springs and center bearing wear, and a tuned engine loads them hard. The FW-302-AL replaces that assembly with a single solid piece. Clutch Masters designs it in CAD, CNC machines it in the USA from 6061 aluminum, zero balances it, Type 3 hard anodizes it and certifies it to SFI 1.2. With far less rotating mass than the factory part, the engine revs and drops rpm faster between shifts, which is what most ATS track and autocross drivers are after. The tradeoff is that the car needs a little more throttle and clutch finesse pulling away from a stop.
Separate a flywheel noise from a clutch problem first. A rattle that changes as the pedal goes down points at the flywheel or release bearing. Engine speed climbing without matching road speed is disc slip, not the flywheel; our slipping diagnosis guide walks through the load test and our flare versus slip guide explains what you are feeling. Check for loose heat shields and exhaust contact under the car, since they can mimic flywheel rattle.
Our listing covers the 2013-2017 Cadillac ATS 2.0L turbo with the six-speed manual. Clutch Masters also lists FW-302-AL for the 2016-2017 Chevrolet Camaro 2.0L six-speed, and its details tab carries the ATS into later model years, so if your car falls outside our range send us the year and VIN and we will confirm. It does not fit automatic cars or the 2.5L and 3.6L engines. This is a conversion flywheel: Clutch Masters states it works only with a Clutch Masters single-disc kit and will not work with the factory clutch or another brand's kit. The matching kit we carry is the Clutch Masters FX300 Kevlar kit 04302-HDTZ-X. More clutch and drivetrain parts are in our rebuild kits category.

No. Clutch Masters designs it as a conversion flywheel that only works with a Clutch Masters single-disc kit. It will not work with the factory clutch or another brand's aftermarket kit.
We carry the Clutch Masters FX300 kit 04302-HDTZ-X for the ATS 2.0T, which lists this flywheel as required. Other Clutch Masters FX single-disc kits for the car also pair with it.
No. It is listed for the 2.0L turbo with the six-speed manual only. Clutch Masters also lists the 2016-2017 Camaro 2.0L six-speed.
The engine revs and drops faster, so pulling away from a stop takes a bit more throttle and clutch control, and you may hear more gear rattle at idle. Many street drivers adjust quickly; Clutch Masters generally suggests steel for mostly street use.
Clutch Masters lists a shipping weight of 16 lb, box included.
Yes. Follow the Clutch Masters break-in instructions for the new clutch before hard launches or full-boost pulls.
