Putting in a lighter/balanced flywheel is a nice upgrade while it's apart, but not neccesary.

My clutch is getting really worn out on my first car, is it o.k. if I keep driving it?

Thanks!

Not necessary but if your gonna need some speed in the high end worth getting but not necessary. I happen to get a fidanza light fly wheel really cheap like $10 bucs got it resurfaced and love it.

i honestly dont know but my guess is all it will do is start slipping more and more until you go no where.

im not sure if it will cause any more damage as i have never left a clutch in long enough after t starts slipping

^I could see the clutch friction material fading down to bare metal and messing up the flywheel pretty bad. If I were you I'd take the opportunity to get a lightweight flywheel in there while its apart
