Default Need new clutch!

I purchased the TRD clutch and Findanza flywheel for the incase I need it mod.
My stock clutch is starting to seriously slip so....
My question is, should I install both or leave the flywheel out.
Will I lose drivablity ease with both pieces installed.
I drive on the 405 which is the worst traffic ridden freeway in the world.
To install or not to install?
That is the question.

I hate lightened flywheels. That's just me. I'd install that clutch though.

the lightened flywheel will require you to rev match every upshift and down shift. wasting gas , it's great for a race car but not fun for a commuter especially with socal stuff.


one thing i highly suggest is that you get a braided clutch line. makes the upgraded pressure plate feel like stock very worthwhile 20.00 mod.

depending on how many miles you have etc, you may need to get the stock flywheel resurfaced when installing your clutch (it's actually always recommended)... So, I'd personally put in the flywheel at the same time.
