Re: Not satisfied with solid flywheel converion.

Seems part was damaged on installation. Garage denies responsibility. Story ends there. Ordered another kit today, got 50% discount (at least something). Found another garage that will do it. They say they will take the engine gearbox down and then replace the kit as there is not much room to work o...

Re: Not satisfied with solid flywheel converion.

I just dont see how, if everything is fitter correctly can there be any other movement, thus vibration, that rotary. Clutch vibration is a symtom of dmf failing cause the bearing on the flywheel fails and there is also movement perpendicular to the rotary movement. Also thats what usually causes vib...

Re: Not satisfied with solid flywheel converion.

That might solve the pedal vibration. Violent chatter is still a mystery. And ye steve_erwing, u r from Croatia, u know how our garages are. He might be an expert but yesterday i saw ppl that were working there, young men age 20ish. Also, in Croatia, its hard to convince a dealer that they made a mi...

Re: Not satisfied with solid flywheel converion.

It's quite clear to me it's not how it supposed to be. But i dont get it, why is that happening? Why does it vibrate? Why does it chatter? Could the friction plate be turned on the wrong side? I was thinking about doing the job myself as its not really complicated, its just about getting all the thi...
