mach 1 1970 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Does anyone know what build date on 09 KR’s with the new flywheel . The old flywheel will eventually warp with temp causing a lot of problems . Want to avoid this problem . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I think it was after August of 2008 when they corrected the issue on all GT500's including the KR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach 1 1970 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Thanks ViperNC. I did some more research and it looks like all builds from 8/19/08 on have the new flywheel.. Looking at a 09 KR with 1500 miles on her. I just need to get the build date tomorrow. It’s got a vin # that tells me it’s close to a 10/08 or later build date after looking at grabbers work on this. There is also a way to look and see if it has the new flywheel. No holes when viewing threw the bottom of the bell housing will also tell . Grabber spent a great deal of time on this subject. Hats off to him. This forum is awesome in so many ways. Edit .. all 09KR’s were built after 8/19/08. I checked out #0003 and it was built 9/08.

Yup, that is what I recall from earlier threads... FWIW, my April 08 build got 32k on the odo before I had to replace. And I DROVE that KR (and still do, HARD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm glad my research still helps a few folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbypt Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 My 08 is an early model. The clutch was fine, but chattered on occasion. So, I had the 3rd TSB done it runs fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KR_Mac Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I have an earlier 08 and the clutch had a cool hissing sound when depressed. It had chatter within the second year (09-10) and I had the TSB done (Thanks Grabber for all that information). Still running strong and its 2019.
