Hi, the flywheel is like a controller, and observer for an engine. The need for this part was invented more than 200 years ago. The shape and his weight is calculated to eliminate to the gas engine the shaking movements. By having one flywheel little lighter than the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), will make the car to have a bit of "shakiness" that will be transmitted to the engine mounts, then transmitted (and will be felt) by the entire car. I think that is safer to install a bit heavier than OEM flywheel. That will be better.



The round part in the left side of the picture is a flywheel. That part is designed to have the shape is such way to accommodate the one piston movement. Will give a better performance, by keeping the piston moving all the time (between the piston working needs).

No offense bro but I was referring to branded aftermarket ones which are made and built as per OEM standards.

No Offense but, you might get a better answer or reply IF You were to Identify Your Vehicle.

What Year, Model and Drive train is your Vehicle?

Then you won’t get an answer. FYI: No Scion products used a CVT. You either had a manual trans or a 4/5 speed automatic.
