Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
Personally that is probably the route I will be going when the need comes to change out my clutch.
Leading evidence: 'route i will be going' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'route i will be going' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Where is the best place to get a cheap lightweight flywheel for a 2000 996? I need a new flywheel. Interested in a lightweight. Do not want to spend much.
Also, are 3.4l and 3.6l 996 flywheels the same?
Fidanza is the least expensive LWFW I found for a 996.
I had one in my old Prelude which performed flawless. Anyone have a Findaza installed in their 996 to provide feedback?
From what I remember alot of people ordered that Fidanza unit only to find out it doesn't really fit a 996. Wrong number of holes to mount to the back of the crank.
I think Aasco is the only one on the market that is proven to work in our cars.

I actually asked Findanza and the vendor I bought the LWFW from if it was a 8 or 9 bolt flywheel for the 996 c2/c4. They 'confirm' it is 8 bolts. Plus I never had the LWFW 'rattle' on my Prelude which is a big plus.
Findanza is inexpensive (not cheap) for Porsche prices but somewhat pricey for Honda application. Personally that is probably the route I will be going when the need comes to change out my clutch. No, offense to Aasco our board sponsor.
Man, we Honda guys never get a break! Because it's for a Honda, they know thay can jack up the prices, and we'll pay it! I wish we could get cheaper parts like the Porsche guys can!
Andy is correct! The C2/C4 engine has a different number of holes for the flywheel than the GT3 block so the AASCO is to my knowledge the only aftermarket flywheel that fits a C2 and C4. The Fidanza flywheel does not work with the C2/C4 engine block. I did also investigate the Fidanza route as the price was tempting compared to AASCO.
I'm happy with my move to an (AASCO) LWFW more than a year back but you need to consider the downsides: rattle and more significant - noise while the engine is not under load, so e.g. while cruising with 3k RPM.
LOL, I can see how it can get misinterpretted.
LWFW Porsche (ballpark prices off the top of my head)
Fidanza- $380ish
AASCO- $900ish
LWFW Honda
Fidanza- $180
ACT- <$180
So for Honda it is actually pricey compared to other comparable brands but for Porsche it is inexpensive compared to AASCO.
