Important: This complete conversion bundle is designed specifically for vehicles originally equipped with dual-mass flywheels. The original ring gear from your dual mass flywheel must be removed and transferred to the new solid flywheel during installation. Professional installation, including proper flywheel resurfacing, ring gear press-fitting, and rear main seal replacement, is mandatory for reliable operation.
Common Symptoms Indicating Need for Flywheel Conversion
- Unusual rattling or vibration from the clutch area, especially during engagement
- Difficulty shifting gears or grinding during shifts
- The clutch pedal feel is becoming inconsistent or spongy
- Vehicle has 80,000-120,000+ miles (typical dual-mass flywheel failure range)
- Oil leaking from the rear of the engine (rear main seal failure)
- Clutch slipping under load during towing or acceleration
Why Choose This Complete Conversion Bundle
Toyota's 1KZ-TE turbo diesel is renowned for exceptional reliability and longevity, but the dual-mass flywheel remains its Achilles heel. These complex dual-mass designs were intended to reduce vibration and provide smoother operation, but they introduce a significant failure point that typically manifests between 80,000 and 120,000 miles. When dual-mass flywheels fail, they often cause catastrophic damage to the clutch system and can even damage the transmission bell housing.
This complete conversion bundle represents the definitive solution to the dual-mass flywheel problem. By combining our premium clutch kit, CI Premium solid-mass flywheel, and essential rear main seal into one comprehensive package, you get everything needed for a professional conversion at significant savings over purchasing components separately.
The CI Premium solid mass flywheel at the heart of this bundle represents over 60 years of Australian clutch engineering expertise. Australia's demanding conditions - extreme heat, heavy towing, and rough terrain - have made Australian clutch manufacturers world leaders in durability engineering. This flywheel design mirrors the factory specification used on UK-market Toyota 4Runner models, which came standard with solid flywheels and have proven their reliability over decades of service.
Many mechanics and DIY enthusiasts overlook the rear main seal during flywheel conversions, only to discover an oil leak weeks or months later. Since the rear main seal sits directly behind the flywheel and requires complete transmission removal to access, replacing it during your flywheel conversion is essential preventive maintenance. The 90311-95008 OEM Toyota rear main seal included in this bundle uses premium fluoroelastomer (Viton) rubber, providing superior heat resistance and long-term sealing performance in the harsh environment behind the flywheel.
Understanding the Performance Options: We offer this bundle in two performance configurations to match your specific application. The Standard/OEM configuration provides reliable OEM-replacement performance for stock engines and daily driving applications. The Heavy Duty configuration incorporates 4Terrain Ultimate technology with patented ER2 grooved pressure plate design, dual-friction Aramid clutch material, and spheroidal graphite casting that's 300% stronger than conventional designs. This Heavy Duty variant delivers 60% more torque capacity while maintaining surprisingly good pedal feel through intelligent engineering rather than excessive clamping force.
The solid mass flywheel design eliminates the internal springs and friction surfaces that inevitably fail in dual-mass designs. The single-piece steel construction provides superior heat dissipation during towing, off-road driving, and extended highway use - critical factors for 1KZ-TE owners who use their vehicles for serious work. Unlike dual-mass flywheels, which cannot be resurfaced and must be replaced as complete assemblies, solid flywheels can be resurfaced during future clutch replacements, significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs.

FAQs
FAQs
Q: What's included in this complete bundle?
A: This bundle includes your choice of Standard/OEM or Heavy Duty clutch kit (cover assembly, clutch disc, thrust bearing, spigot bearing, alignment tool), CI Premium solid mass flywheel, and genuine OEM Toyota rear main seal (90311-95008). You must reuse your original ring gear from the dual-mass flywheel.
Q: Why should I replace the rear main seal during flywheel conversion?
A: The rear main seal is directly behind the flywheel and requires complete transmission removal to access. Since the transmission is already removed for flywheel conversion, replacing the rear main seal is essential preventive maintenance. Rear main seal leaks are common on higher-mileage 1KZ-TE engines, and replacing it now prevents future oil leaks and another expensive transmission removal job.
Q: Which performance level should I choose for my application?
A: Choose Standard/OEM if you have a stock 1KZ-TE engine with mild modifications, daily driving with light towing, and stock to 33" tires. Choose Heavy Duty if you have significant engine modifications (180+ HP), frequent heavy towing over 3,000 lbs, 35"+ tires, or plan future performance upgrades. The Heavy Duty kit offers 60% more torque capacity and superior heat dissipation.
Q: Will converting to a single mass flywheel cause transmission problems?
A: No - single mass flywheels are the OEM specification on many 1KZ-TE applications, including UK-market Toyota 4Runners. You may notice mild gear rattle at idle when the clutch is engaged, which is completely normal and does not indicate a problem. Pressing the clutch pedal eliminates this noise. This is a characteristic of solid flywheel designs, not a defect.
Q: Can I install this bundle myself?
A: This is an expert-level installation requiring complete transmission removal, ring gear transfer with press equipment, flywheel runout verification, and precise torque procedures. Professional installation is strongly recommended unless you have professional-level mechanical skills, proper tools, and experience with Toyota manual transmission service.

- Flywheel runout must not exceed 0.002" (0.05mm) when checked with dial indicator
- Clean rear main seal bore and crankshaft thoroughly before installing new seal
- Apply thin film of engine oil to rear main seal lip before installation
- Consider replacing spigot bearing and hydraulic clutch line during installation
