Clutch Masters 22-23 Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo Steel Flywheel
Owners of an 11th-generation Civic with the 1.5 L turbo and six-speed manual usually shop for a flywheel for one of two reasons: the factory flywheel is scored or heat-checked at clutch time, or they want the engine to rev and drop faster between shifts. The Clutch Masters FW-222-SF covers both. It is a 17 lb flywheel machined from 1018 steel, lighter than the roughly 23 lb factory part but heavier than an aluminum unit, which keeps stop-and-go driving smooth.
The flywheel is the friction surface the clutch disc clamps against and the mass that smooths out engine pulses at idle and low rpm. Clutch Masters notes that for the 2022-up Civic, Honda moved from the dual-mass flywheel used earlier back to a single-mass design. Cutting about 6 lb of rotating mass lets the turbo four gain and lose rpm more quickly, so rev-matching is easier and the car feels more eager in the lower gears. Clutch Masters positions the steel FW-222-SF as the middle ground between stock and its 15 lb aluminum version, and aims it at daily drivers who still sit in traffic. The flywheel is CNC machined and balanced in the company's US shop, black oxide coated against rust, and SFI 1.2 certified for motorsport use.
Most flywheel problems show up as clutch problems, so rule out the disc and hydraulics first. A slipping clutch shows rpm rising with no matching acceleration in a high gear; our slipping diagnosis guide covers the road test. With the transmission out, check the flywheel face for hot spots and cracks and measure it against minimum thickness. Our resurface versus replace guide explains when machining makes sense, and lightweight versus stock covers the drivability trade.
Clutch Masters lists this flywheel for the 2022-2023 Honda Civic 1.5 L turbo, naming the EX and Si applications, and its catalog also shows a 2022-2024 range. It is for six-speed manual cars only; CVT models use a flexplate and torque converter. It does not interchange with the 2016-2021 flywheel, which is a separate part. Because year coverage varies by source, send us your year, trim and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. Browse more parts in our clutch and rebuild kits section.
Expect a little more gear rattle at idle than stock; that is normal with a lighter flywheel.

Clutch Masters lists the FW-222-SF at about 17 lb and the factory single-mass flywheel at about 23 lb. The aluminum FW-222-AL is about 15 lb if you want even quicker revs.
Yes. Clutch Masters says it can be paired with the OEM clutch kit or any of its FX100 through FX500 single-disc kits for the 2022-2023 Civic 1.5 L turbo.
No. This part is listed for the 11th-generation car. The 10th-generation 1.5 L turbo uses a different flywheel, so match the part to your model year.
Not much. The steel version keeps more mass than aluminum, and Clutch Masters aims it at daily drivers for smoother stop-and-go behavior. You may hear slightly more gear rattle at idle.
No. CVT Civics use a flexplate and torque converter instead of a flywheel and clutch. This part is for six-speed manual cars only.
