[s-cars] Lightweight Flywheel Users: Long-Term Feedback report?

[Trevor Frank]

>From what I heard the chattering is actually the gears, since there is
little dampening you hear them, so it isn't the flywheel but the effect
of a lightweight flywheel on the trans.  Pretty common on race cars.

This destroying due to cooling rates delta's?  That is a new one for me,
how did you figure out that was the case?

I know of an early JB flywheels that was sold thru ASW and not properly
matted to a pressure plate/clutch disk that had premature wear issues.
The good news is that JB took care of the one that I know of.

report?

"serviceable" steel insert?  I've seen cars with RS2 horsepower wreck a
lightweight flywheel because the steel insert cools at a different rate
than
the aluminum flywheel.  It ain't pretty.
