Then this wouldn't be for you. If your sitting with your foot on the clutch it's not too bad... but pop it out of gear and idle... you can't miss it inside or outside the car. You can hear the gears moving in the trans. As far as the famous "cement mixer" sound at low RPM... it's not better or worse than any single mass flywheel JWT or Jun. The Tilton is hard to compare between the Nismo/JWT/Nismo since it is such a different animal. The other 3 have approx the same rotational mass even though they all weigh different on the scale.

Other than at idle... yes. BUT, the Tilton is in a different class altogether. I wish a few So.Cal people would take us up on our offer and drive Jason's car for an independant opinion.

I don't believe anyone has asked this, but how's the setup when going into reverse? I ride the clutch most of the time in reverse, but do you have to reverse quickly with this setup?

It isnt bad going into reverse... you can still "ride" the clutch in forward or reverse... it may start to squeak... but I usually just let the clutch engage enough to push me back and then coast backwards in neutral... or... i just let it get fully into reverse...
