• AROUND 20% OF VEHICLES WILL NOTICE ‘TRANSAXLE RATTLE’ WHEN IN NEUTRAL, AT IDLE, WITH THE CLUTCH DISENGAGED. THIS IS JUST DEPENDENT ON WEAR & TOLERANCE IN THE TRANSAXLE.  WE RECOMMEND REPLACING TRANSAXLE FLUID WITH AMSOIL 75W-110, AND USING AMSOIL SLIP-LOCK ADDITIVE.  IF YOU HAVE VAP ECU TUNING WE ALSO ADJUST IDLE RPM & TIMING TO MITIGATE.
• 2014MY-ON VEHICLES WILL REQUIRE MACHINING TO THE TORQUE TUBE, OR FOR MANUAL VEHICLES ONLY, A ‘CORE EXCHANGE’ TORQUE TUBE TO BE PROVIDED BY ASTON MARTIN
• STANDARD AM REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES MUST BE COMPLETED – ASM VEHICLES MUST HAVE CLUTCH STATISTICS ERASED.  ALL VEHICLES MUST HAVE MISFIRE CORRECTION FACTORS ERASED AND RE-LEARNED (FOR 2010.5MY-ON VINS FROM *13435 THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY AMDS FACTORY DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS)
• SELF ADJUSTING CLUTCH COMPRESSION & ALIGNMENT TOOL MUST BE USED FOR INSTALLATION.

FITS ALL MANUAL + SPORTSHIFT TRANSMISSION V8 VANTAGE MODELS

A vast improvement in shifting operation and a huge extension in clutch life all in one!!! The original clutch & flywheel package for the V8 Vantage is heavy, and not particularly well known for longevity. Fortunately, Velocity Automotive Performance has put together this incredible replacement package. Our original package included a 1-piece CNC billet steel flywheel, however an investment in a casting has allowed us to offer the same great product, at the same weight and performance but at a lower price.

Benefits:
– Weight reduction of 7lbs
– Increase of 10HP at the rear wheels
– Faster Shifting
– Vastly Improved throttle response
– Dramatically increased longevity compared to the Standard Parts
