Iffy Flywheel

So long story short I took my trans off and inspected the clutch and P/P because it was in gear and suddenly acted as if it was out, my clutch looked fine pressure plate looked fine so I assumed it was my flywheel.

My flywheel doesn't look to be in bad condition but it does just like in this video, anyone have an idea? :

I'd say that that FW in the video looks pretty 'clapped-out'. Reusing something in that state would only bring unnecessary sorrow upon oneself.

So, what's the deal with your six speed transmission? Did you find one locally?

I found one on eBay and got it for 850 with I think it was 83k miles, the seller was pretty cool and has been communicating a lot. Now I just gotta pick up the flywheel and I should be rolling again soon 👌

That flywheel is done 100%, there isn't really much to argue about here. Mine is going the same way, to the point where clutch engagement is pretty unstable. Probably gonna bring my car to a shop ASAP to get everything fixed.
BTW on my Prelude (w/ J32 swap) I went through at least three clutch discs due to a flywheel which did, um, what it does on that video. Usually when hitting the gas hard after engine braking. The flywheel kind of snaps and takes out the splines on the disc. Seriously, I've had it happen three times to me (I can be stupid sometimes).
