According to my mechanic my flywheel is starting to give bother, it is intermittently rattling, and apparently will eventually "go", it needs replaced.

I generally tend to think that if you are in and around the gearbox / flywheel that it is wise to fit a clutch, as I have often heard of a clutch failing soon after new parts have been fitted around it.

What I need advice on is if there is much of a difference in fitting a replacement dual mass flywheel / clutch setup, as opposed to a solid flywheel / clutch setup.

The Solid flywheel conversion is almost half the price of the dual mass setup, but which is best ? Saving on price initally sounds great but is it a false economy ?

(69000 miles on the clock, and I intend to run it for another 2 years avg 22000 per year)

Thanks for reading
