Matt.... Clutch Question..
 
What is the difference between Single and Dual Mass?

Thanks.

A dual mass flywheel is designed to dampen NVH better, at the cost of weight. A single mass flywheel is designed to allow for quicker revving and shifting by reducing the rotating mass.

Thanks Matt

What is NVH?

Mocker 09-17-2025 01:58 PM
noise, vibration and harshness

They dampen the drivetrain, typically using springs sandwiched inside the flywheel. As Matt says, they are heavy MFers.

Harmonics.

Thanks for the education.

Anytime.

From a performance standpoint it’s free horsepower. It’s mass the engine doesn’t have to din. In my experience it also makes it easier to blip for a double clutch rev match downshift.

Hah. I always heard/read the H was for harshness. Education, indeed.

All good.
