As most of you know, I was debating the issue months ago and as others will know my clutch had started slipping although I was hoping to get it to over 226,000 on the original clutch. However, losing 3rd gear synchro made a new clutch whilst fitting the new box more financially viable than putting the old one in, so we decided to give a solid conversion a go.
What a MAHOOSIVE difference, the clutch is so light you could practically blow on it and it would change - I fully recommend it.

Do you notice any more drivetrain vibration or 'lumpiness' since doing the solid flywheel swap, Supa?

I spoke to a citroen / peugeot garage and he said he fits solid convesions to all pug and citroens that he changes clutches on with the DMF and said he's never had a problem

None whatsoever, even the mechanics were impressed, I cannot begin to describe to you how light it is

Well I'd like you to try, I've got all day

Where did you get the conversion from Supafrisk?
I am looking at get my 110 remapped and the dmf is already squeaking so am looking at finally silencing the bugger

did a clutch on a 406 with a DMF about 5 days ago, and i have to say, it wasn't very nice to drive at all compaired to mine, was actually starting to wonder if i'd screwed somthing up, but the owner said it felt perfect, so must have been right enough.

A lot of owners don't actually know what "perfect" means when it comes to 406s... The guy I bought my dad's tubby off thought it ran perfectly despite completely bu**ered clutch hydraulics and a lack of any turbo boost

There's a presumption that because they bought a car for £100, it must have been awful out of the factory... But with the 406 that's just not true though - it was an executive rep-mobile, at the top of its class. It's just a lot of cars have been left to degrade in a really bad way
