Default Emergency Textralia CLutch ? (Car is apart right now)

My car is in the shop right now, taken apart and ready to start with the flywheel. The mechanic noticed that the stock flywheel that came off had holes on one edge of the flywheel as a counter balance, the new flywheel with my clutch is "zero balance" and does not have these holes. He is not sure if this is gonna cause a problem or not, he is hesitant in putting the new flywheel in....we are holding off on the flywheel right now until we can get an answer from somebody.....called byunspeed and textralia to no avail thus far, will keep trying.

Perhaps someone on here can shed some light on this, anybody do anything different?????

Thx in advance...

as long as you know the flywheel and pressure plate have a zero balance, you should be good to go

Below quote off the Textralia website. You should be good to go.

"That's right! The selected components within the "OZ700™ Series" clutch assembly have been perfectly matched, digitally machined and zero balanced for instant use."

I think the best thing about these clutches is the fact that you don't need to break them in. Sick.

Update: First off I wanna say thx to both Byunspeed and Textralia for getting back to me, they both re-assured me that its just an out of the box install. And as per their instructions, did that. She fired up and I drove her out of the bay and down the street, no problems with vibrations etc... (still cross my fingers tho). Just gotta get the exhaust back on, boy does it sound mean with open headers.

I will post better results once I start to drive it.
