Competition Clutch 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT 14lb Steel Flywheel
The Competition Clutch 2-622-ST is a 14 lb one-piece steel flywheel for the manual-transmission Mitsubishi 3000GT and its twin, the Dodge Stealth, with the 6G72 V6. Owners look for it when a clutch job reveals a glazed, heat-checked or worn-out factory flywheel, when the engine feels lazy coming off the throttle between shifts, or when they are building a VR-4 or R/T Twin Turbo and want a flywheel that will not separate at high rpm.
On these cars the transverse V6 bolts its flywheel to the crankshaft at the end of the engine, and the flywheel does three jobs: it carries the starter ring gear, it gives the clutch disc its rear friction face, and its mass smooths the firing pulses of the V6 at idle and low rpm. The factory part is heavy, which helps those pulses but slows how quickly the engine can gain and shed revs. Competition Clutch machines the 2-622-ST from 4140 forged chromoly steel as a single piece at a listed 14.00 lb. Less rotating mass lets the engine rev up and fall back faster, so rev-matched downshifts and quick upshifts feel crisper. Because it is steel rather than aluminum, it still holds heat well and keeps enough mass for normal street launches; CC describes its ST line as the version that keeps low-end torque and driveability. A one-piece design also removes the risk of a pressed-on ring gear walking off. For the pros and cons of going lighter, read our lightweight vs. stock flywheel guide.
Slipping can come from a worn disc, oil on the facings or a hydraulic problem holding the clutch partly released, so rule those out first; our clutch slipping guide walks through it, and the slipping diagnosis guide helps separate clutch slip from other drivetrain problems. With the transaxle out, check the friction face for cracks that reach the bolt holes or edge, deep scoring, and the step height between the friction face and the pressure plate mounting surface. If the old flywheel is cracked or already machined thin, replace it; see resurface vs. replace.
Competition Clutch lists the 2-622-ST for 1991-1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT, including the VR-4, and 1991-1996 Dodge Stealth, including the R/T Twin Turbo, with the 6G72 DOHC and DOHC twin-turbo engines. Our listing title reads 1991-1999 because CC's matching clutch kits for this car cover the 3000GT through 1999, but CC's own flywheel listing stops at 1996. If you have a 1997-1999 3000GT, or a base model with the single-cam engine that CC does not name, send us your year, trim and VIN before ordering so we can confirm it. Manual transmission only. More flywheels and clutch hardware are in our hard parts category.
Expect a slightly quicker idle drop and a little more care on hill starts compared with the heavy stock part. That is normal for a lighter flywheel and feels natural after a few days of driving.

Yes. Competition Clutch lists it for 1991-1996 3000GT including the VR-4 and 1991-1996 Stealth including the R/T Twin Turbo, with the 6G72 DOHC and DOHC twin-turbo engines.
Competition Clutch's flywheel listing names 1991-1996 only, even though its clutch kits for this car run through 1999. Send us the year and VIN before you order a flywheel for a 1997-1999 car.
CC lists 14.00 lb, one-piece 4140 forged chromoly steel, in its ST (street) lightweight series.
CC says its ST flywheels are well-suited to Gravity, Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kits. Choose the disc by power level; the flywheel is sold on its own, with no clutch included.
It revs up and drops faster, so you may need a touch more throttle pulling away from a stop. CC designed the ST line to keep low-end torque and street driveability, so most owners adapt quickly.
Competition Clutch recommends shifting as often as possible during the first 500 miles so the disc material beds into the flywheel and pressure plate. Avoid hard launches until then.
