Default JWT Clutch; OEM Flywheel?

Like title says, would the OEM Flywheel be compatible with a JWT Clutch?

I already have both but I'm growing tired of the chatter and am thinking of just putting the OEM Flywheel back in but I love the pedal weight the JWT Clutch supplies.. Thoughts?

Chatter as in noise or the car is shaking when you take off from a stop?

why wouldnt you recommend it? I am about to buy a new clutch, and I am not going to buying a new flywheel.

I can live with the drivetrain noise... I actually don't hear alot because of how I drive but thats besides the point
I dislike how the stock flywheel feels after having a JWT flywheel... I recommend aasco flywheel and JWT clutch and 12,000 KG pressure plate. seems to be a good combination and has a nice firm pedal that isn't all numb and mushy

but that thread never mentioned the combination of stock flywheel with JWT Clutch.

well, I've lived with it for 2 years and I've got disposable income now, so why not.

Just noise at a stand still out of gear.. especially loud when the car is warm-hot from driving it hard.

that is the input shaft bearing... normal to be loud... maybe should replace trans if it is really bad, does it go away when you push on clutch pedal?

not a clutch problem... you need a trans... the dual-mass flywheel will not make the noise go away
aasco flywheel is aluminum single piece... great quality!!!

are you kidding me! This has been going on for years and now I'm 20k miles out of warranty.. Would neglecting this issue cause mechanical failure?

thanks for clearing that up. I understand the Z's transmission would never be quiet, even my stock made noise but it wasn't too bad.
