A dual-mass flywheel uses two connected flywheel sections and internal damping components to help reduce engine vibration before it reaches the transmission. This design is used on some manual-transmission vehicles to improve smoothness and reduce drivetrain noise.
Unlike a conventional solid flywheel, a worn or damaged dual-mass flywheel may not be suitable for traditional resurfacing and may require replacement. Certified Transmission in Bellevue can inspect the flywheel during clutch diagnosis or replacement and determine what is appropriate for the vehicle.
