I thought the prolight was aluminum, but last time I checked a magnet doesn't stick to aluminum. It sure has alot of holes in it. Can't wait to get this stuff installed.

You'll love the clutch. Haven't heard much on that flywheel yet, keep us posted. I will upgrade the flywheel when I take the motor out this summer.

It probably has a steel/iron wear surface so it lasts longer.

I won't be able to give a good evaluation since I have never driven a manual. I am doing the auto to manual swap. I bought alot of the stuff new, heading to Dallas this weekend to pick up the rest.

I actually read the instructions that came with the prolight and it is made out of chromoly steel.

What kind of sealant do you use behind the flywheel nut? In the service manual it just says loctite and sealant but doesn't specify.
