K first off i bought the car with the motor in just not finished...so me and my friend did the wiring and all that stuff and we got the car running, come to find out that the first few times we started the car there was no oil in the tranny. So we put some inside, but when you drive the car in low rpms when down shifting it made a wierd grinding noise. and tonight when i was driving it I felt the clutch slipping well i think it was but when i got to a certain point i heard a pop noise and the car shut off. while rolling I started it back up and it would just rev..(why i think the clutch went..) but when i came to a stop and turned it off the car wont start it makes a wierd noise. Flywheel gone and clutch blown?
One more quick question...billet steel flywheels any good or what about Chromoly Lightened Flywheels? i did a search and all i came up with was aluminum =)

I don't see how the clutch could keep it from starting. I dunno, but I know aluminum is a much better metal that chromoly. Aluminum is lighter and stronger. When going for a light flywheel, don't go any lighter than 15 lbs.

ya but the starter turns the flywheel so im thinking my flywheel is all messed up to...the grinding noise when i down shift sounds something like my prelude after i didnt change the clutch and i wore down the flywheel but my prelude didnt sound so bad haha..

ohh..if there is to much oil in the tranny what would happen?

How do you think you have too much oil in there? Its kinda tough to get too much. Have you taken you tranny off to see if it is your flywheel?

havnt had time to do it yet..i thinking might have to much cause it was at a slant when we filled it... would that cause the clutch to slip and stuff?
