Glad you made it home with a few less teeth.
Did you know Rick Moses was (is) a dentist?
He could have made you new teeth for your tranny, you saw what he did with 1
transmission!
I've have heard good and bad on lightened flywheels, A certain Mini racer went
bullistic when his lightened flywheel self destructed but that was at 9,000rpms.
Your best bet would be to have your present flywheel lightened by a reputable
machine shop.
I do not have any personal expierience with lightened flywheels.
Hey if you need any help with that tranny, drop me a note. I rebuild a bunch and
I have lots of good used parts you can have. (sorry no first or lay gears,
that's why I rebuild a bunch)
