Is the flywheel faulty then.....

Clutch kit is less than a ton.....pretty much all the manual Omegas use a dual mass flywheel.

Are you saying that the outer part, where the clutch cover bolts onto, is able to turn independantly of the flywheel centre which bolts to the crank?  :o

Best bet would be to get one from a breakers or put a wanted in the bits for sale / wanted section on here. Not the sort of thing you would want to pay postage on though.

Hi Brenny, where about are you? I've just fitted an engine from a manual car to my auto so I've got the dual mass flywheel that's no good to me. The clutch plate looks quite good too  :) I'm central Scotland, flywheel yours for the taking if you can use it. Weighs a ton so postage might be a bit expensive.

Cheers Jim
