Anyone ever hear of bahnhof clutches, its on ebay but looks legit?
also how much of a difference does a light weight fly wheel make performance wise or are there alternatives that aren't as expensive?

Recommendations?

Never heard of that brand. If the neon is stock then any oem replacment clutch will work fine. I have used the ebay F1 clutches in the past and worked good. I like to stick with sachs. My last 1st gen I had a PT cruiser clutch in it and loved it. I have never used a lightened flywheel. I have heard good and bad things, so I stay away from them. Besides I like to know my flywheel is heavy duty as possible when driving my cars, not light.

I will take some pics tonight and up load it. It feels heavy and looks very well put together but its all in how it performs after the 500 mile break in. I started an album with pics that I will start adding more every time I can through out the rebuild .

A mod clutch is short for modular clutch. Depending on where the neon was built (vin will tell you) it will have have either a modular or regular style clutch. A modular clutch is the flywheel, disk, and pressure plate in one piece. It uses the auto style flex plate. You can covert it to modular or non modular if needed. I converted mine to a modular style setup it required the flex plate and shorter bolts.
