    Question Need advice: Lightweight flywheel + clutch

    My Brothers,

    My 04 ZHP 6MT has a failing dual-mass flywheel. I apparently bought the car this way, and have been chasing this issue on my own for a while, but conceded and consulted with my indy. The dual-mass flywheel mechanism is bad, creating a ton of slack in the drive line. We both got under the car and he showed me exactly what was happening.

    I'm sold on a single-mass flywheel, and I'm aware of the downsides to this type of setup (had one in my 318ti), but want some advice from the Family on what products are recommended. I see many solutions for 5MT's, but am having a harder time finding 6MT solutions. I believe UUC has a kit, but I'm all about due diligence and wanted some other products for comparison as well as some Family suggestions from experience.

    Anyone out there running a single-mass flywheel setup? How did you like it? Why did you choose a particular brand? Any pitfalls I should watch out for?

    TLDR:
    I'm looking for advice on which lightweight fly+clutch kit to purchase for DD street/light track for an 04 ZHP 6MT.

    Salute,
    Dek

    If you want quality, I'd go with another OEM one. BMW clearly used a dual-mass for a reason

    OEM or a 20 pound single mass. LTW flywheels don't do any good for a Street Car. If it was a track car, maybe, but the harmonics issue would be severely amplified.

    Can you explain a bit of what the indy showed you? Curious to what they said and showed you.

    I read a lot on this topic and people that did go aftermarket ended up going back to OEM.

    Unless you like chatter, stay away. I've driven a car with a LTW flywheel and it's very loud at idle. It does grab like none other and the decrease weight in rotational weight makes the car take off.

    Would I do it? Yes, but I'd stay away from single mass.

    I stuck with an OEM clutch and OEM Flywheel for reliability since my car is about 90% daily driving 10% track duty. IMO, Less chatter, and if your power levels don't warrant a better clutch there really isn't a reason for a stronger clutch/lighter flywheel.
