I hear that to overcome the concerns expressed by users of these devices,manufacturers are moving to TRIPLE mass devices.

It's £400 on the Boxster. No doubt the new type will see a 50% price increase as the mass is now tripled!

what a scam! the flywheel was already dual-mass, now its triple-mass, thats a 33% increase in mass, and they are charging 50% extra for it instead of 33% extra ;-)

seems right to me - a dual mass is 100% so triple is 50% more so 50% on price is a bargain - triple becomes 100% so each one is 33.3% :-))

If it's got more than one mass, there must be a lot of energy flying about. E=mc2.

Smooth clutch takeup. No shunting. User friendliness. Fragility (tendency to lunch itself sometimes allegedly at random). Costs four to eleven times what a normal flywheel does. Perhaps it is used on diesel models to prevent harsh low-speed engine torque from damaging the driveline, something like that.

I believe you can get a Ford ordinary one-piece flywheel substitute that works on some models.

All the above based on what I have read here. Never knew the things existed before.

And the other thing it does is prevent damage to the gearbox if you change down when revs are too high
