Keep stock flywheel with new clutch?

[Dinokill3.7]

I damaged the TO bearing drag racing and I’m getting a new clutch installed next week.

Should I keep my stock flywheel, buy a new stock flywheel or upgrade to an aftermarket flywheel?

This is my daily driver(150 miles a week) and I hear a lightweight flywheel is not a good idea for a DD?

The clutch I’m getting the Exedy 500 stage 1.

You should spend the extra coin and install a twin disc. Stock like pedal effort, with the ability to hold a lot more power if necessary

Get a new flywheel or have your stock flywheel resurfaced. Although it seems tough to find a shop that resurfaces flywheels these days. You want a fresh/clean surface for the new clutch to mate too.

Most shops won't resurface dual mass flywheels

True, but the OP's signature shows a 2017 car. He would not have a dual mass flywheel.

Resurface the existing flywheel or replace it - don't just slap a clutch in it.

I did that clutch and the lightweight flywheel when I had my 15’, no regerts Do it all at one time

I talked to the mechanic and they told me they can resurface the stock flywheel but they won’t know until they pull the clutch apart.

in case I need a new Flywheel. Will the McLeod Lightened Steel Flywheel be a good option. According to AM it weight around 20lbs. How this sounds for a DD?

I’m driving my cousins Infinity G35 and he has a light flywheel and don’t really like how rapidly the revs climbs/drops.

I saw your car at BMP last Saturday. That’s when I messed up my clutch lol.

Get the matching Exedy chromoly flywheel. Amazing unit, very light. Pairs awesome with the clutch you’re getting. I noticed a huge difference in engine responsiveness versus the stock flywheel. Night and day.

Just a heads up, if you replace the flywheel you’ll need to perform a calibration to sync the new flywheel to the sensor (forget the name of it). Otherwise, you’ll get a misfire >4k RPM. If you have a flash tuner, it’s an easy fix and takes about 5 min start to finish.

I decided to get the McLeod Lightened Flywheel. It’s not as light as the Exedy one at 20lbs. I think that will be a good compromise for a street daily car. I’m driving my cousin’s Infiniti G35 with a 14lb flywheel and I don’t really like how fast it drops/climbs the rpms. I’m know is not an apples to apples comparison.

And for the crank relearn I have a nGauge so that shouldn’t be a problem.

How do you like your exedy clutch? How is the pedal feel?

First time I ever heard this.

The lighter the flywheel the faster the engine revs and drops rpms.

First time I ever heard someone not like that. I love a snappy engine.

Gotcha. Like I said. Maybe it feels different in a Coyote than a VQ.
