[QUOTE="Don's Bolt, post: 718486, member: 522"] I'll try to expain it In our cars the flywheel is big heavy and has springs in it. The clutch in our car is solid with no springs in it. The clutch and flywheel setup in most other cars, has a solid flywheel, with a clutch that has springs in it. Most cars the clutch absorbes the vibrations of the engine and gear box. While on out car the flywheel absorbes the vibration. Also a dual mass flywheel is heavier than a normall flywheel and takes more power to get moving. I kinda know why Ford put a dual mass flywheel in our car. It is due to the Getrag 6 speed, which have been know to be a little loder than other trans. There are pros and cons to both types of systems. I really don't have a problem with dual mass flywheels, Corvette Z06's have them. I just feel they are better suited to higher HP rear wheel drive cars. I just wish Ford had given us a little heavier duty clutch with the dual mass flywheel. [/QUOTE]
