heard from my friend that when i change my clutch (manual) i should also change my flywheel. does a "performance" flywheel save gas? what's the diff between a regular flywheel and a performance one?
Does "performance" flywheels save on gas 4 realz or not? - 6G Celicas Forums
Difference in stock flywheel and "performance" flywheel is weight. Im not sure if it will help you save on gas. But i can tell you that a lightweight flywheel will rev faster thus accelerating faster.
Heres something i found on it to conclude my statement..

that was a great article
in a hilly area i'd say no, in a flat terrain, sure 
so which is it? i can't really decide. lemme know, might swap out that flywheel s00n as clutch goes.
I'd say yes and no. Yes as in less mass to turn. No because once the flywheel is turning inertia helps keeping it turned.
No matter what saving gas isnt a reason to get one. You'll never notice a difference.

I personally would not waste my money on a lightweight flywheel for the 5sfe.
(which i have currently) But that is just my opinion.
Then again if i had a 3sgte (hopefully coming this summer) i would definately
try to squeeze any ounce of power i can get thus getting a flywheel. I think you
should just swap your clutch and let it be that. Unless your flywheel gets jacked
while your changing the clucth, then go ahead and get a flywheel! Best of luck!

what do you mean "gets jacked"? i'm a n00b. just got it last may. that's when i first learned stick as well. do you mean a grinding-type noise when i shift? i always attribute that to my foot not synchronizing well w/my hand. a coordination factor.
so if i did have to swap out the flywheel, just go with regular and nothing special right? ok, thanks.

Im not quite sure how many ways a flywheel can go bad other than rusting, possibly breaking, or some teeth being torn off.. By that i mean by the teeth being torn off or something of that matter.
