TDP stage 2 trans rebuild w/ Diamond stage 2 clutch & lightweight flywheel. Just talked to Jason @TDP and got a quote for Stage 2 transmission rebuild w/ diamond stage 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel! Price was good so I scheduled dropoff for this coming up Thursday.. I'm excited to finally get her on the road with no issues! I've heard nothing but great things about Jason so I'm eager to get the slow girl on his operating table.

Yeah, just got done talking with Jason and made me feel really happy with what he is planning! I did mention that it's a daily driver to him but also said that I wanted it to handle 450whp+ if I add juice sometime this year... it should be around 25lbs less then Oem

The Exedy I have weighs less than the LS7 with the Fidanza 13lb flywheel by about a pound or two but I dont recall the exact weight. The flywheel is Exedy and comes with the clutch and it comes prebalanced. The biggest diferance isn't really the weight though, its where the weight is. Even though its only a couple lbs lighter, its MOI is much lower.
This exedy twin disk i must say is simply amazing. I finally got the break in done and decided to hit an on ramp at full speed for the first time in a while... sweet lord my car revs quickly and the 1-2 and 2-3 shift grabbed like nothing i could have imagined. i took it up to a 3-4 shift later on and it still grabbed just as hard way up at redline. its was fantastic. the greatest part about this clutch it just how easy it is to drive even though so much weight has been removed. thanks to bobby ( ctsv154) for putting me onto this clutch.

I too had a very lightweight set up with a fidanza fly wheel and fidanza clutch, was a smaller diameter like the exedy, so more of it mass was towards the center. Wasn't bad to drive, awesome for rev matching. To take off smooth you basically give it no gas and let off the pedal smoothly.
The life of the clucth wasn't the greatest, mind you a leak at a slave connection from the last time I had it appart was what finnally did it in.
After I got some info from the guys at Monster, I decided to go with a heavier flywheel based on their recommendation, mind you know where near as heavy as OEM dual mass.
With a light weight set up and heavy car like ours , you won't get the same longevity out of the clutch with a light weight set up. Going with a light weight fly wheel is meant more for autocross. On the street or strip it's generally not needed.
With a heavy car and light weight aluminum flywheel you'll be slipping the clutch more to drive it smooth.

I ran a 12lb katech ls9x flywheel and loved it, then again my boatanchor dual mass flywheel was completely gone when I did the swap. Light flywheel clutch combos make this car come alive, and are wonderful for road racing or auto x.
