Dual mass flywheel

[statok]

Hey,

I am looking at replacing my gear box and i have found this one. But it says DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL ONLY!

How can i tell if the flywheel is dual mass before i go and buy this gearbox.

Or will this gearbox still go into my gu if it doesnt have dual mass flywheel

you can replace the dual mass with a solid flywheel which is better for long term, it will out last a dual mass as these are known to wear out clutches fast. i replaced my dual mass with a EXCEDY SAFARI and solid flywheel which was $2,700 fitted although as i said i also had to buy the flywheel which won't be necessary next time. mine has been in my truck and has done around 40,000ks and not even looking like stopping....cheers....

Unless they are selling the box with the clutch and flywheel??? As far as I know, everything on the box is the same, regardless of what flywheel you are using. The only part of the box that touches the flywheel is the end of the input shaft where it sits in the flywheel. Converting from dual to single flywheels is just a matter of flywheel and clutch. Nothing else needs to be changed.
You might wanna check if that box has had the fifth gear upgrade or you might just be blowing your hard earned into the wind.

I ended up getting a full reco box and my patrol already had a solid mass flywheel in it
