Default How many miles with a lightened flywheel?

Ok so now ive "heard" that a lightened flywheel might be bad on the tranny. How many miles have you had with your flywheel? Ive got a JWT sitting on my floor right now waiting for me to install it.

Yeah.. I've never heard of anyone having problems with a lightened clutch/flywheel setup. Just problems with those who use underdrive pulleys. I guess thats bad for stuff.

Hey JMC, Ive been around but im never online anymore. I moved in with three girls and they are making my life a living hell. Well not really they just suck up all my time with talking and showing me new clothes blah blah.

Thanks guys for the responses. I didnt think there were any problems but im still kindof nervous modding out my 5k old car.

I'm at 66k+ miles. I believe my tranny and JWT flywheel went in at about 15k miles. That's about 50k miles without any problems. I'm on the same stock clutch.

Im in a career, i need my sleep. Im 26 yrs old these girls are 20-21 and work at the tilted kilt (think hooters with less clothes). They invited me to live with them bc i used to be their boss. I only pay 250 a month in rent and i get garage parking for the Z but i pay for it with drama.

yeah I went there to watch some pre-season football......but with all the nice scenery there I only watched maybe 20 minutes of football. LOL. I may have to go by there again soon.

What the heck was this thread about anyway, I forgot. ha ha
So when are you getting your flywheel/clutch put in? Is Japanese Auto Tech doing the install? How much?, if you don't mind me asking.

64000 total on my engine...

at 9000 miles I replace my trans and put in the Tilton Semi Street...

Added UR Crank Pulley at 16000 miles...

at 25000 Miles I replaced the Semi Street with a Proto-Type of the Full Street...

at 28000 Miles I replaced the Proto-Type with the final version of the full street...

at 59000 miles I replaced the trans and still had some life left in the full street set up but replaced it anyway...

It's adding stress on the transmission, then again, any (significant) increase in power is adding stress on the transmission. It should help gas mileage (maybe slightly, but it's taking some stress off of the crankshaft), though that may be offset by wanting to accelerate more often.
