It feels like my clutch may be getting a little soft, I am hurting for money right now but would like to put a lighter flywheel on if im going through the trouble of changing the clutch. any suggestions on brands of both, and is it worthe changing the flywheel or just get my old one resurfaced?.... Thanks

If you're getting soft pedal the first thing you should do (especially since you mention a light wallet) is try to check for air in the line/bleed it. Easiest and cheapest fix there is. Hopefully that will fix your issue.

If I were in your situation I'd pass on the lightweight flywheel. Any (small) benefit you gain from less rotating mass will be eclipsed by the negative impact on drivability down low in the gearbox. I'd get the one that you have resurfaced and use the money you save for something that would actually do some good...

...like snow tires.
