Default Lightweight flywheel chatter?

Just curious if anyone is running a lightweight flywheel? I'm in the midst of gathering parts for my 5 speed swap (basically need a clutch and flywheel), and was looking for some input from those who have one?

I had a light flywheel on my old bimmer, but it chattered HORRIBLY. If I let off the throttle while cruising on the highway, or used cruise control, it sounded like there was a handful of sockets in my transmission.

Is this the case for ALL lightweight flywheels? if so, I will definitely pass on putting one in the xb.

I don't have one, but have you checked the tc guys out? I'm pretty sure you're gonna find more of those guys running it.

that is normal, to an extent. it depends on the car and flywheel, so it does not happen with every car. german cars usually come stock with dual mass flywheels, so going from that to a lightweight one will probably chatter more than other cars
