Flywheel change...worth it?
I've seen many quality flywheels available for the MC to improve rev up and engine response, but is it a mod that will be reliable? plus, between price and labor to install, is it anything that is worth the investment? I'm not on the verge of doing it, but I just wanted to get a feel of what some of you hardcore tuners think about it. Thanks!

Less benefit from lightening the MC flywheel (stock about 18#) compared
to lightening the MCS flywheel (stock about 28#). The crank pulley is
also much lighter on the MC compared to the MCS.

Which is it? Pedal in (disengaged), or pedal out (engaged)? :smile:

sorry, I was trying to get it straight for others because comments and terms were'nt matching up. I'll try again.
clutch pedal depressed = clutch disengaged, no chatter at idle.
clutch pedal not depressed = clutch engaged, chatter at idle.
clutch pedal depressed = clutch disengaged, no chatter at idle.
clutch pedal not depressed = clutch engaged, chatter at idle.
