Re: GEAR LASH???
At idle you will hear a chattering. That is the easiest way to describe it.

I fitted a lightened flywheel to my previous car (E36 M3) and, whilst it afforded markedly improved throttle response, I absolutely hated the chatter.

Re: GEAR LASH???
Clattering might be a better word. It sounds like hell under no-load, but that's the price you pay for a really lightweight flywheel. Under load the sound should go away.

There is also the possibility that the noise will be present while cruising at a steady speed on a flat highway, but most likely not as severe as at a stop light.

IMHO , not a very good mod for a luxury sedan.
