so im changing my clutch cause it took a poop on me and i think my pressure plate is shot beceause im not getting full disengagment. it is still drivable but has a slight creep in gear at a stop and it hard to get into gear from a stop. but anyway im going to a stage 3 clutch and was curious how much of a difference i would get if i went to to lighterweight flywheel im kinda tight on cash so im hoping not to have to replace it if i dont have to. but a resurfaced stock one is gonna be alot cheaper then a new light weight one. i guess what im asking is how big a difference would i feel going lighter? also if i im not grinding gears and not forcing shifts will i cause any dammage to my tranny? if i cant get it into gear from a stop i dont force it i jst turn it off put it in gear then restart it in gear. ghetto i kno :confused:
 
I have an RRE 14lb cut-down stocker. I love it. I really didn't notice much diff b/w the Xact 12 lb FW that I had on my FWD Laser. But I know they are 2 different cars. It sounds like a good compromise to me. I launch at 5-5500 and pull consistent 1.6-1.7 60ft.

Edit: I just checked their website and I don't see it...maybe they don't cut down stock flywheels anymore. :confused:

Yea, i've actually heard RRE isn't doing a whole lot of stuff with DSM's these days unfortunately.
