Lightweight flywheel question?
Searched and have found nothing! Just wondering if..well becasue of the lightweight flywheel you get chatter right. well I just installed a lightweight flywheel and new clutch and was wondering. becasue of chatter will this vibration cause any premature wear on bearings. I mean vibration no matter how little cause wear. Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with this. And another quick question what is with the clicking sound when ever I hit the gas and when I let off

I like to start off these responses by saying I am no mechanic
...but I've had my share of car troubles, so I know a thing or two about car problems.
but as you already mentioned, chatter will cause premature wear on the car as a whole. My roomate being a mechanic says its probably one of the worst things for a car because of how much damage it can (and eventually will) cause. Are you sure a brand new light-weight flywheel is suppose to cause chatter?... that doesnt seem right to me... but then again I've never changed out clutch parts that werent stock.

I was told because of the weight difference and the fact that the engine has a split second where there is no power then power between the firing sequnece that this causes chatter. because the flywheel doesnt have the inertia to keep it going and during that split second and starts to slow down, then speeds up again. And does anybody have a clue on the clicking sound?

A lightweight flywheel wont wear out anything in your car. The only thing it's going to wear out is itself. Just because it makes noise doesn't mean it is physically wearing any more than something that makes less noise. Some lightweight flywheels probably last longer than the stock flywheel... it just comes down to materials.
So by this reasoning... you're wearing out your car by listening to music, and if you have an amplified stereo system with a sub... your car is f'kd.

OEM flywheel is heavy, dual-mass flywheel that does a good job of dampnening the noise/vibration. Your aftermarket flywheel is light weight single mass flywheel therefore the chatter is normal. Just think of it as a reminder that you're in a tuned vehicle
At least you don't have Tilton 8lb flywheel; that sucker chatters like **** LOL!

you cannot just install a Tilton flywheel...its an integrated unit to a Tilton clutch.
As for the clicking, you might want to do some searching for the rear axle TSB
