  The dual mass flywheel on my Shogun has failed. Would anyone recommend replacing it with a solid flywheel conversion ? Apparently the kits are supplied with an Exedy clutch plate equipped with larger springs to replacing the dampening effect of the DMF.

• 1.9TDI. 90BHP 108000 miles - VW Sharen clutch 21 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, i'm having problems with the clutch, it seems to be making a vibrating noise when reversing, someone told me it might be the dual mass flywheel  packing up. These seem to be an arm and a leg to get done. But there is a solid flywheel you can put on instead.  Just

• Ford Mondeo - Mondeo 04 2.0 TDCi clutch problems? 15 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  Mass Flywheel is lucky to last that long, so if it was on the way out, I'll look at replacing it with a solid flywheel kit as I intend to run this baby into the ground! Any advice would be much appreciated thanks!
• Skoda Octavia I (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.9 Tdi... solid? 28 May 2009 (Forum)
  100,000 miles. Is the 1.9 Tdi unit decently solid or not? I doubt if the car has a DPF, but does it have one of these absurdly fragile dual mass flywheels, and is there any risk of the fuel pump going? It will spend quite a lot of time not being used, and most of the use it gets will be pootling. I've
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 05 2.0 TDCI Flywheel/clutch replaced, now gearbox 26 Aug 2009 (Forum)

  said that the pedal should be "light as a feather" and that it sounded like the dual mass flywheel (DMF) was seized or sticking. I understand from what he told me that the "DMF" is like a shock absorber to absorb the engine torque as the clutch "bites" and that this was designed to make power take up

• Honda Accord Tourer - Dull, dull, dull 4 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  high mileage diesel problems with dual mass flywheels, disintegrating turbos, blocked diesel particulate filters and the like. The Honda is worth about 4.5k I reckon with 12 months T&T - so what would you get if you sold the Honda and wanted something with decent shove and better
