Clutch Masters 2013-2015 Dodge Dart 2.0L Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel
Doing a clutch job on a 2013-2015 Dodge Dart with the 2.0L engine and six-speed manual and want the engine to rev more freely while you are in there? Clutch Masters FW-097-AL is a lightweight aluminum flywheel made for the Dart. Unlike many performance flywheels, Clutch Masters lists it for use with either a factory-style replacement clutch or one of its FX100 through FX500 single-disc kits, which makes it an easy upgrade at clutch time on a Dart that is still mostly stock.
The flywheel bolts to the crankshaft, gives the clutch disc its friction surface and carries the starter ring gear. Its weight acts as stored energy: a heavy flywheel smooths idle and pulling away, while a light one lets the 2.0L pick up and drop rpm faster between shifts. FW-097-AL cuts that rotating mass by using aluminum for the body of the flywheel.
Clutch Masters CNC machines its aluminum flywheels in house from 6061 billet, zero balances them and Type 3 hard anodizes the aluminum for wear and corrosion protection. The clutch does not run on bare aluminum; its aluminum flywheels use a separate friction insert, and the maker sells replacement inserts so a worn face can be renewed. Every Clutch Masters flywheel is SFI 1.2 certified for motorsport use.
The trade-off is worth stating up front. Clutch Masters says it usually recommends steel over aluminum for street cars because aluminum flywheels add gear noise. On a Dart you can expect quicker revs and sharper throttle response, along with a bit more care needed pulling away from a stop and more gear rattle at idle than with the factory flywheel.
With the transmission out, check the old flywheel face for heat checking, hard spots and runout, and look at the ring gear teeth. Light wear can sometimes be machined, but cracks or blue spots mean replacement. If the car is slipping, confirm it really is the clutch with a third or fourth gear roll-on at full throttle; our slipping diagnosis guide covers the test, and the manual versus automatic repair cost guide helps you budget the labor. Check for oil at the bellhousing seam too, since a rear main seal leak will contaminate any new clutch.
Our listing covers the 2013-2015 Dodge Dart with the 2.0L engine and manual transmission. Clutch Masters catalogs FW-097-AL for the Dart 2.0L six-speed and also for the Dart 2.4L six-speed. It does not fit the Dart 1.4L turbo, which uses a different flywheel and clutch, or any Dart with an automatic or dual-clutch transmission. Confirm your engine size from the VIN or the underhood emissions label, or send us your year and VIN and we will check before you order. More clutch parts are in our rebuild kits section.
