I know the flexplate is relatively light for a diesel part. I was expecting more metal but the main body of the OEM was pretty thin. As for the fly wheel I can't imagine them putting much more strength behind it. besides the added weight of the surface for the clutch to hit.

My South Bend DD shipping weight was 118lbs. That was the Pressure plate, clutch Disks and Flywheel.

NV4500s are 250ish
NV5600s are 360ish
G56s are 250ish
241 T-case is 100lbs
271 T-case is 120lbs

All the above are from DodgeRam.org

I would have to say a 47re(without fluid) is around 150-180lbs. That's using my calibrated method of grabbing onto it and heave ho.

i'm not worried about being able to hold these things, i'm a regular strongman competitor, came in 2nd in Icelands Southwest regionals this summer...

i was just wondering how heavy they are, wondering if i should put it on a lift or if i could do it lying on the floor and if the flywheel was perharps lighter than OEM (not sure what effect it would have on a diesel but i put ltw flywheels on two of my BMWs and i thought they made better throttle response.)
