Any one who installed jwt flywheel and clutch please post them up here, want to hear the famous chatter sound and how bad it is with the window close. Heard a friend's car with lightened flywheel it is kinda embarasing , his is a convertible, make it even more embarasing......

Dude, its loud. Annoying and embarrasing bcuz ppl look at ur car like something is very wrong. Ive got the JWT flywheel, but to me its worth the added performance.

It's pretty loud. I can't hear it with the windows up though. I am switching to Redline fluids in an attempt to quieten down a bit, as there has been some success by others with more viscous tranny fluid.

I agree with 06MagneticZ though about the (inferred) performance, the car seems faster since it revs more quickly.

Well, it looks like my redline fluids are coming in today, so if I get time then I will do a before and after. No promises!

what do you mean noise? It just revs faster. If you are talking about chatter, it sounds like the stock set up chatter. Major chatter can be heard when in a high gear at a low MPH which i'm never at like most people. nothing special.

Dude, just order the flywheel. Either way if you try and go with a factory flywheel its gonna be way more expensive. Dont ask me why.

Sounds like a cement mixer and it makes your car vibrate a bit. Thats the best way to describe it.

my car doesn't vibrate at all. Cement mixer sound was apparent like stock. So basically, it's an upgrade all around.
