Just as the title states. When I bought my car, the previous owner said he had a SR motorsports lightweight flywheel installed. Guess he was wrong because it clearly says centerforce. I just weighted it and it is 9lbs. The rear counterweight I took off has sharpie writing on it that says "S5 AT CWT". Does this seem like the appropriate part to use?

Looking at the centerforce website and searching the club, it seems like centerforce doesn't even make a lightweight flywheel for the 3rd gen. Now I'm confused.

You have the right counterweight, you can bolt any aftermarket flywheel to it.

To my knowledge all light weight flywheels use the Auto transmission counterweight of the same year.

Its possible that previous owner might of bought the flywheel from SR.. I wouldn't worry about the flywheel as long as the condition is ok. You might want to go get it re surfaced while its out though.

Thanks guys.
It does look like it could use a resurfacing. There are some grooves and some discoloration. Where could I get this kind of work done?
