Hi

Is there any alternative to the standard dual mass flywheel for a 2003 2.2 16v GLS?  Changed my clutch this time last year because it was very hard to get first or reverse gears from stationary, but ok when driving in other gears, but now it's getting back to how it was, we suspected dual mass flywheel and wondered if there was a solid flywheel and clutch that can be used instead? maybe from Carlton or Frontera but all research I have done seems to suggest they are dual mass as well.

I did find a company on the internet who would convert dual mass to solid, but when I rang them they said they had never done an Omega one, so presumed they weren't really a problem.

any info would be appreciated

Sorry, can't help with what else might fit, but your problem sounds more like the operation of the release bearing ie slave or master cylinder rather than the flywheel.    I thougt failing DMF would rattle & bang with the clutch pedql pressed. 


Two pedals good, three pedals bad!

all 4-cylinder Carltons were solid flywheel.

and a really big heavy beast it is, too !

If you want to PM with your details, I can put you in touch with a company the specialises in the manufacture of flywheels for all sorts of applications.  If they haven't done one before, they are usually very keen to take things on, as it adds another application to their product lines.
