I am about to order a Spoon clutch kit and a JDM FD. I figured I wouldn't need to replace the stock flywheel because it is already factory lightened. I had a second thought on replacing the flywheel because it's a pain in the *** to do anything that has to do with transmissions.

I saw that the Spoon clutch weighs in at 4.2kg, while the factory weighs 6.9kg. I usually assumed that all aftermarket flywheels were ULTRA light, thus making it difficult to daily drive. I know the Spoon is not as light compared to the other flywheels. Hopefully, it won't be hard to daily drive. I could save my bottom end and torque as well. Should I go ahead and replace the flywheel? Or go ahead and spend the money on cam gears or a VAFC?

 

do it. change the FW, you'll like it
and its right there when you pull the tranny out when you do the FD.

 

You won't have any trouble daily driving with a light flywheel. That whole myth has been blown way out of proportion.

I'd say do it. It was one of the best things I ever did on my car, and I actually wish I had gotten an even lighter one now.

 

 

get the lightweight flywheel. it's well worth it.

 

bumber to bumper traffic here, no probs with my toda

 

werd i my toda!

 

how would a lightened flywheel make it hard to drive in traffic?

 

Just do it.
