What Rob said.
What I also learned (this may not applied to all vehicle) is that light flywheel sometimes don't make a match at start up, so you get this over-crank noise. But, that could also be a worn flywheel.
It is just that my old D16 flywheel never gave me that problem, and this light flywheel I have now has given me about, 6 times within a year.
Tranny work is nice. I would do flywheel and FD at the same time.

im not kidding....Dave is right. the only thing is that you may stall easier because you dont have the centrifugal force like the old one.

I have noticed a huge difference in mine...especially the last few nights...with it being cool out...throttle response is nice and the supercharger screams...I did the fidanza flywheel and the rpm's crank fast....love it....

Its not because its a lighter flywheel its because your starter is no good or the guy half assed lightening ur flywheel. I have a fidanza 7lb flywheel and its awesome, no problems whatsoever

its a tradeoff ... when your driving at slow speeds in traffic, shifting from gear to gear is not smooth like you would like it to be, but when you have the opportunity to accelerate without any restrictions ... thats when you'll be glad you have a lightened flywheel
