Might as well get a new flywheel while it's out or check the old one for any cracks.

you dont have a flywheel, you have a flexplate...unless you can get something stronger/lighter, which I dont know if something like that is available...then I wouldn't bother unless you have a cracked flexplate now.

You can buy stronger flexplates and they aren't that expensive.
