Lesbford Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hi. I had an 04 plate 2.0 TDCI and had the DMF changed out for a Transit Connect solid flywheel at about 120k. It was faultless until I had to let the car go eighteen months ago for scrap at 235k when other things started to go wrong. No vibration, or issues with the clutch at all. I was so pleased with the mondeo that I sought out an identical replacement. So, 18 months later my 'new' Mondeo has a rattling dual mass flywheel at 122k. I though it a no brainer to do the same as before and fit a single mass replacement. However, I'm being told don't do it! Is it really a no no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave May Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The DMF is fitted on manual cars to protect the gearbox from the stress of boy racers doing wheel spins away from the lights. Obviously if you are a normal careful driver who gently slips the clutch to move off then the fixed flywheel from a transit van would be an excellent replacement that should result in no more clutch problems.
