how a dual mass flywheel works

Recommended Posts

I've been wondering about these things for a while since they became a popular fitment by VW (and their failures seem a popular topic of discussion with mechanics), I know it's a pretty dull subject but this video is pretty cool:

Good video.

 

Hope they are not actually using the rivets I think they are on it though, not really designed for that sort of shear loading.

Fascinating video davidwort! Made me think about how uprated clutches must just have uprated springs (plus be made of a stronger friction material) as people sometimes complain about how the clutch bites a lot quicker when changing gear - a combination of the friction material and spring rates on the plate I suspect.

I'd never heard of a dual mass flywheel truth be told..

 

Anyway cheers for sharing.

dual mass fly wheels are rubbish there is no need for them and they are exspensive and unreliable sooner they scrap them and realise it was a terrible idea the better

there as bad as release bearings with built in slave cylinders there great too :scratch:
