Will keep you posted if interested. Also, similar thread in High Performance section. | | |

Little close huh?Buffalo has tried to weld and extra plate to make it stronger than the other one but it breaks also. When you think your motor blew up with the knocking noise dont worry its only the flywheel breaking.It will happen around 500 miles all the way to 5000 miles. With the buffalo adapter at least you wont have to cut half the starter nose off or grind half the the rear bearing cap off.
I did a lot of research on this one as i did not want the 5 speed i have now because of a bad knee.
After seeing 6 broken flywheels that a young lad sent me i changed my mind.
Not a good deal. | | |

Buffalo also offers -- for additional monies a completely new flywheel that doesn't have this modification. | | |
