Well...last time I did one we ended up replacing it with an early flywheel. 
It looked much heavier and from what my friend has told me (who works at a 
shop where they do these all the time) the clutch won't work right with the 
A3 flywheel. It is a difference in the brand. Other than that, I don't really 
have any specific information.
