Re: V8 Clutch for model A
The V8 clutch is easier to push and is smoother. Less chance of chatter. The original clutch is fine if in good shape and correctly adjusted.
The lighter flywheel will provide better acceleration especially in low gear. There is more rotational vibration. The dynamics are complicated but with the original flywheel the torsional vibrations in the crankshaft are not transferred to the transmission but with the lighter flywheel the torsional vibrations are. Not noticeable at higher rpm but you can tell the difference at lower rpm. The transmission is easier to shift with the lighter flywheel because the engine speed will slow down faster when shifting up and the engine will spool up faster when double clutching for a down shift.
