MikeCMM Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 You have two options. Either post your VIN number and someone on the forum can track down the date for you ( GRABBER? ) or call Ford SVT at 1-800-367-3788 and pay 45 dollars and get the Oasis report on your vehicle. Here is another suggestion. Follow this link. http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35706 Grabber takes you through step by step with pictures on how to identify and check your vehicle for the old and new type flywheel. I still haven't contacted Ford yet about my report but I intend to do so this week. I do have the new flywheel and mine was built in the middle of August last year so I was lucky and right on the bubble in regards to when the new ones started going in. Good luck. M Almost forgot. Check the sticker on the driver's side door and it should tell you the month and year the car was produced. Going by all the intel on Grabbers topic; if your build date on the door says 09/08 or later you should have all the new parts and shouldn't have any issues.
