michker Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 My 03 JDE has developed over the last 12 months an annoying rattle from the DM Flywheel. A couple of questions, I have heard that these can on occasion "let go" and cause some damage. And are there any benefits or drawbacks from going to a solid/lightweight flywheel. Cheers Mike. Quote
taffyjason Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Im looking at getting a single mass flywheel myself, from what the guys say on here it helps the engine rev more, but you get more noise/rattle than standard set up. As to what they are like to live with i don't know, i'd expect more stalling! Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 i'd expect more stalling! Your doing well if your managing to stall a 3.5 v6 on anything other than the rarest of occasions. A lightened flywheel will give you faster response and acceleration. However the downside is the noise and it will be a little less smooth when on and off the throttle. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Exedy clutch kits and flywheels in stock and good to go same/next day. Drop me PM Mike if I can help you further Alex Quote
michker Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 mmm thanks for the advice on that, don’t think the wife would be too pleased with a jerky ride so maybe stick to the DM... What abount the existing one failing completely.. is this a possibility of will it just get noisier? Mike Quote
