Hell yes!! I have a Comp Clutch STG4 and a JWT flywheel and the thing is crazy in the morning but gets better as it is driven, but still loud. I wonder if switching to the OEM flywheel and keeping the sprung ceramic pads clutch would work?

i have an 07 350 and it makes like rattling noise when its in neutral and i let of the clutch and when i am starting to accelerate and still in the 1500 rpm range. the clutch, flywheel, and throw out bearing are all brand new. i have no clue why it would make this sound.

I installed both popular flywheels in our 370z to compare them for people. It's not the flywheel that rattles as most of you know, It is the trans gears rattling because the single piece flywheels don't dampen the engine firing pulses.

I cannot stand the lighter flywheel, It annoys the the **** out of me. South Bend is a much better option IMHO. They both make noise under 2500 rpm but the south bend is MUCH quieter than the lighter unit and the car drives much better with it. The South Bend is completely quiet at idle and people don't ask you whats wrong with your car all the time...

Both videos were shot with the car fully warm.
