These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i currently have a LWFW installed in my C4S and i don't really like it,, i might go for Dual Mass for quieter and better daily driveability,, is the flywheel selection completely independent from clutch kit selection? in other words, is there a specific flywheel for each clutch kit?

POST 2Original post

YES, actually different clutch disk type for each flywheel. Flywheel goes with engine/crankshaft type, clutch kits can be different types but need to match flywheel. IE: Solid center clutch disk = DMF flywheel Spring or rubber center disk = one piece or LWFW

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i guess the previous owner only installed LWFW and retained the solid hub clutch,, thats why it rattles,, if i am going for DMFW,, what other parts should i also replace while i'm there? can i retain the used clutch kit? any breaking-in required?

POST 4Original post

If you want to retain the clutch pressure plate spring assy replace the disk, where most of the wear happens, with the correct solid center one for the DMF. So: Disk, Throwout bearing, *IMSB, RMS if wet. Even if PO used the correct disk the trans will be noisy. That is one of the reasons Porsche went to DMF. In earlier 911s, late 70s -80s+, Porsche used rubber centered disks, not so affectionately known as exploding hubs. The slick trick was to replace them with spring centered disks, that amplified trans rattle but spring centers did not fail as often. * http://www.lnengineering.com/ims.html or http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...ft_Bearing.htm

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

if i went from spring hub to solid clutch, can i retain the pressure plate, bearings and hydraulics?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

what are the parts that wears out so i replace them for better insurance?
