As the title says, do the duel mass flywheels give the same symptom as a slipping clutch? I took my gearbox out and the clutch seemed to be slipping badly? But now looking at this duel mass flywheel maybe its that. Can they give that symptom? I can rotate it left and right about an inch each way then it stops. I am hoping it is ment to do this.. Thank you.........

It is, but not by hand, i think there should be considerable resistance in both directions and it should return to centre of it's own volition. The idea of a dual mass flywheel is to smooth out the sudden surge of torque when a cylinder fires, so that the vehicle can be driven at low engine speeds in high gears without rattling the transmission to death. A sort of cush driver if you will. Personally i think they are a waste of time. An item designed to make LUK rich and motorists poor.

your know if dual mass is gone as normally there is a vibration in the clutch pedal an some movement left to right is ok its movement in an out thats bad if u hold flywheel at 9 oclock an 3 oclock an press down if it moves its knackered but when u come to buy the flywheel buy it for a bmw as its cheaper then if u buy for range rover even tho they the same flywheel
