300D Flywheel
 

Yes you read it correctly, I have one and it is for sale - $350.00 + plus shipping.

What's the part number on it? (If you don't mind me asking)

I will look for it, but it is a genuine 300D

I have no doubt that it is - I think I should have admitted this sooner - I'm only interested in knowing the part number as I'm collecting information. I'm not in the market for buying it as the shipping would be silly for me. So if you don't want to waste your time with me then I completely understand.

Good luck with the sale.

Not a problem, the only number that I can provide is a casting number. If you are looking for a part number to order one, then I believe I have the part number somewhere in my notes - I will look later today.

Army once again--You should be gathering a sending these to America, You could sell one a week at this price-plus the shipping.

I think the shipping costs from me to you probably make the price here a fair deal.

Congratulations!

Did you get the part number before it went?

Sorry for delay, really busy.

Thank you very much - you're a gent!

What are you brewing up now, Army!?

Just curious. What makes the 300D flywheel so valuable?

There is a popular conversion in the USA => automatic to manual.

The thinner "automatic" flywheels will probably sell for a couple of dollars - but due to rarity the thicker, heavier manual transmission flywheels go for quite a bit more.

In Europe manual transmissions are more popular than automatics.

I'm a rare breed - a European who prefers an automatic. I can't be bothered to change gear if technology can do it for me.

You can put in a stick on a 617 with a 240d fw which weighs 28# or the proper 617 fw which weighs 38#. The heavier flywheel makes the combination shift much nicer and dampens the odd normally bouncing 617 idle. I have one of each and the one with the 617 fw idles as smoothly as a six cylinder engine.
