Default Help!!! Questions about flywheel/cluth combo

ok I know! there is a search option on the forum and I used it.

What I really want are some advice from people who already have a JWT clutch/flywheel combo.
Is it chattering very loud??? Does someone regret this upgrade??

My clutch is dead and I am wondering if I will change the flywheel at the same time for a JWT or an other aftermarket brand or if I will keep the OEM one.

Can somenone put a video of the JWT chattering sound on is z from the outside of the car???

thanks please help me as fast as you can I need to replace the clutch in the next month if I want to drive it soon...

well i have the jwt combo and yeah it chatters a bit i don't really notice it anymore but honestly every part you install on the z makes your car bit louder IMO... but i like my jwt kit they should have some youtube videos of that if you browse youtube or streetfire.

For your year Z, the JWT seems to be a popular choice. If you're looking for less chatter, look for a heavier flywheel. Either way, expect more chatter if you're going to a solid flywheel.

You will hear the chatter a bit, but for most, the sound isn't bad enough to regret installing it. It is a great street clutch.

if its ANY louder than OEM - it isnt much.

I love my JWT clutch and FLY..


Regret the upgrade? Hell no! Ive loved it ever since a buddy of mine and I installed it. I know others who drift and track their cars and boast about this setup...

Dont be afraid... Just get it... you wont be disappointed..

also If you want to keep it really close to stock I cant think of the exact DXD flywheel, it is dual mass and only around 5lbs lighter then stock so it will have less chatter then the JWT but lack the performance, I personally went with the JWT combo

I made a short vid with me pushing the clutch in/out so you could hear what it sounds like.
