Default any ls9x install specifics??
does this have to be installed or aligned any certain way???

not sure if there was weights on the flywheel like some of the other clutches i have read about.

I know that the 2nd disk needs to be put on facing the specific way though.

thanks

All the Ls9x kits we've done have been marked as to "flywheel" side, etc. Make sure you heat the flywheel in the over to 200deg F before installing it.

The aluminum flywheel is a tight fit onto the crankshaft. You cannot just pull it on or you can damage it.
