yes you can either take the starter off or like Zhills said under the car is a shield held on by 4 12mm bolts and 2 10mm the cover just comes down if it looks alunium then im sure its a 8-11lb aftermarket if its dark brown then prop stock

Light weight flywheel does not make the car shake when accelerating. I had a fidanza in my EF and a XTD in my DC and neither have a problem like that. If it shakes like that the flywheel may just be bad in general.

91 2door is a good guy. If I needed a clutch done right now Id be taking it to him. integra is good as well. And lightweaight flywheels suck.

You need to raise your rpms... Your clutch is aggressive... I had a stage 2, 4 puck unsprung and it used to shake when leaving from a dead stop... And the clutch also went out 2 months later so it might need to be replaced soon. And while your there just spend the extra $ and replace EVERYTHING so you don't have to pay someone to take it out again...
Meaning get a full clutch kit and flywheel.. NEW flywheel not just resurfaced

and you should look on ebay for it and have someone put it in if you cant

i have one in my car from them... lifetime warranty

Putting a flywheel on will be easy if I have everything apart. I do raise the rpm's, just stating that it gets shaky when it starts grabbing. I'm learning to drive it fine, I just can't stand the loud screetch when to goes from 75 to 100 ingaugement, sounds just like chirping the tires. Plus my left leg is sore. I gotta get the rpm's nice and high to get going in this car, cause the drop quick. Which sucks cause then everyone thinks I wanna race.... Yeah I had a fucking tow truck haul ass of the line one he heard me revvin to 2.5-3k

I'm weird when it comes to cars, strange noises, vibrations, tickings, and all things like that realy stand out to me. And I feel something ain't right with this clutch

Plus it's good to know I'm missing 2 Fucking tranny bolts

Lol! But yea, Save up some $ and buy all oem stuff and if the clutch is still good and has some life left then sell that
