[Shotimes] SHO Shop Flywheel questions?

[Erik]

Bruce, the SHOShop is offering the $119 replacement inserts, not the ring
gear.  The ring gear is a press fit on the OEM flywheel on the outside of
the flywheel, but I don't know about the SS unit.  The insert replacement on
the aluminum flywheel is the facing of the unit where the clutch disc
contacts.
