Thank you... I still get pretty dizzy in certain orientations, like tying my shoes or laying back too far. Can't really drive fast anymore because the g-loads make me dizzy as well. Not sure how long it will take to pass but I appreciate you asking.

@@xman25ru thank you, so I did plan a before and after…But I did this flywheel conversion during a 9 month transmission rebuild. Appreciate the kind words!

Had a brain bleed and nearly died too. Every day is a step towards full recovery, thank you.

You'd think I get a brain injury from the cars or motorcycles... but nope. Was trying a new hobby and things took a hard left. I'll probably make a video of it just to share my experience.

To be honest, I'm not sure how GMA can transfer the transmission speeds to the engine speeds without a clutch and flywheel, but I know that there isn't a flywheel on the car... And yeah! Happy to document. There weren't too many videos out there on Porsche flywheels so I wanted to make some. I'm sure you've seen my Spyder flywheel videos too... that's a FUN car.

So basically, it does have a flywheel. There is a physical toothed wheel with a friction surface to hold the clutch as you say. It's just as light as physically possible. There is no mass for inertia, its just a clutch carrier. - a cosworth tech

@@robertgudd7196 straight from the horses mouth, thank you!!

Thank you! Everyday is better than the day before. I think you'll enjoy the performance in lower gears. 25% is good reduction. In this video mine was reduced by about 60%

TBH the 911 is stock except for the flywheel, pressure plate and spring clutch.

I talked to a lot of Porsche race shops… Sharkwerks, TPC, BBI, etc about this issue and they said to not worry. As long as you don’t keep the engine sustained in its natural frequency range (most destructive displacements) then you’re ok. So I just try to not lug the engine and keep the engine in a happy place. It runs smooth. Vivid is just a retailer, but AASCO echoed the same relaxed tune. Is it your daily driver?

@@DasCayman Kinda. I put about 300 miles per month on it.

Yeah all of the noise comes from the gearbox tolerance / gaps and makes the lashing noise

@@skwisgaar129 no downsides. And yes it’s all just down to the pressure plate.

Last time I hung out with the sweet peach I forgot the safe word!!!

I would say only downside is increased / amplified chatter when you're lugging the engine (which you shouldn't do anyways). As for longevity... as long as you're rev matching and heel toeing, I don't see why this wouldn't last the life of the car. Fuel economy... probably a bit better, since there is less stress on the engine to rotate / accelerate. Porsche didn't make it standard equipment because I think they know only a small percentage of their buyers 'actually' knows how to properly drive a manual. LWFW make good manual drivers better, but bad manual drivers worse. You'd get complaints from owners saying there is chatter, but that's really because they are misusing the car / transmission. It's why the Carrera GT got such a bad name for its clutch. If you use it correctly, it lasts "forever" but if you apply gas when rolling away from stop in that car, then you'll burn through it quick. Porsche designed the car to just use the clutch to take the CGT away from a stop and have the computer add throttle. Once the clutch is fully released, then you can add as much gas as you want.

Thanks! Which model 997 do you have? and .1 or .2?

@@DasCayman.1 launch edition

It's a "free car" at this point. Miles don't matter anymore. I drive it everywhere and all the time.

@@jeromevdv7907 hmm one Porsche that had to do it all… 981 Spyder, manual, buckets, PCCB. One Porsche and I get some other daily drivers… Carrera GT :)

How about you?

@@DasCayman 981 Spyder, same spec as yours. You made me fall in love with it! I've always loved the 997 generation but your Spyder so special. Never owned a Porsche before but will try to go shopping for a Spyder next winter or spring :)

@@DasCayman Carrera GT on another level. Your taste for cars is just as great as your content ❤‍🔥

@@juliank911 yes sport mode was on. No sprint booster installed either.
