I see Jerry has one that is "plug and play" with the original components, but is about 5 lbs. heavier.

The cluch in my car is relatively new and am not looking to replace it.

Thanks.

Karl,
The RAM 13# Flywheel requires RAM Pressure Plate, Disc & Hydraulic Release bearing, i.e. the entire RAM conversion from "pull-release" to "push-release."

I had new, aluminum billet flywheels made to the same dimensional specification as the stock, iron dual mass flywheel. They are available in 18# & 22#, the idea being to fill in the gap between the ultra light 13# flywheels (Fidanza, McCloud) and the stock dual mass weighing in at 37.5#.
NOTE: The 18# & 22#, will readily use the stock clutch system disc, pressure plate & release bearing and retain the exact same fork geometry as the stock flywheel.

If you are looking for a lighter flywheel and keeping your stock clutch then either of these will work for you, especially if you are looking for a little more mass than the 13# units. They are good alternatives for replacement of the stock dual mass units, which are expensive and becoming more scarce. Being heavier than the really lightweight units should dampen the engine impulse a little more and result in corresponding difference in transmission rattle.
