By design, the dual-mass flywheel is to isolate torsional crankshaft spikes created by diesel engine during the overstressing power stroke. Dual mass flywheel separates the mass of the flywheel between the engine and the transmission. By separation, torsional spikes can be isolated and thus eliminating possible damage to the transmission components.What is the cost to stay with Dual-Mass Flywheel?
