[QUOTE="F8L SN8K, post: 10947377, member: 50367"] Does the RST and RXT both also use the same Marcel springs? Do they use the same belleville spring also? Two very BIG items on how the Clutch reacts. Clutch material is also a huge item item in chatter when combined with for instance no Marcel spring. Newtons 3rd law-An object in motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Flywheels lighter is better. The only good thing about a heavier flywheel is lower required revs for equivalent kinetic energy and decreased NVH. That is why the manufactures(Ford/GM etc) use heavier nodular iron flywheels and to survive the tremendous heat from all types of drivers. A flywheel with a higher moment of inertia only makes it harder to accelerate. The increased Kinetic energy from a heavier FW only helps until the clutch is fully engaged. That can be overcome by just a few more RPM to drastically turn the tables. Inbetween shifts with a lower moment of inertia will accelerate faster and will actually hit harder on WOT gear changes. It is a myth that old school racers used to swear by the use of heavy flywheels but has been disproven time and time again. [/QUOTE]
