   I'm in the market for a billet light weight flywheel and new clutch kit. I have a 2000 plate Saxo VTS phase 2. I've removed my rpm sensor and seen I have an early style flywheel with 3 pairs of bolts close together.
   
   My question is does the later flywheel make much difference? I assume Citroen updated the flywheel for a reason with even bolt spacing ect.
   If I were to fit a later style flywheel, clutch and release bearing would that be best way to go?
   I have a chance to replace it all should I go later or stick with early style?

   Make sure that whatever you decide to use the 'missing teeth' are in the right position because they are different depending which gearbox was used. Looking at the flywheel clutch face the missing teeth are are further clockwise on the BE gearbox than they are on the MA gearbox because the crank sensor is in a different place.

   Thanks, but Im still using the standard MA gearbox at the min. Is there a difference in teeth between the early and late flywheels then?

   I fit comes from car with MA missing teeth will be same
   
   lot of other things i would be fitting before a lightweight flywheel -- cos you talking about fitting std type clutch --so can,t be that high revving or powerful
   waste of money in my opinion
