Hey all,

Just wondering if this has ever come up:

Seems like the stock dual-mass flywheel is a poor fit for these cars. It wears out faster than it's lifespan due to the low-mileage these cars receive (for the most part) and the fact that it's the damping material that's wearing out.

Since the clutch is sprung, it seems to me like the best aftermarket solution would be for someone to make a near-normal weight single-mass flywheel. Normal weight being close to the dual-mass flywheel (you wouldn't need it to be identical to maintain the same level of drivability, since some of the DM flywheel's weight comes from the damping packs)

This is not a super complicated design, wouldn't require any additional fabrication, and should be a high-profit item since the stock flywheel is near $800 and we're talking about replacing it with a piece of (high-quality, tight tolerance) machined metal.

Thanks all,

Joe
