How long will she last???
So i now know that the flywheel is slowly dying on me. I has been ratteling pretty bad off and on, so i decided to do some poking around. I decided to bump the motor over and check the springs on the flywheel. To my surprise peices of springs poped out along with there perches, i guess. Now out of I belive six of them, two are sitting beside me (in pieces), and one is feeling looser then the others. Can i still get by for a while, or will this cause some big problems? I dont have a lot of long distant driving, but i do need a ride to work every day. (100 miles a week about). Do any of you guys think it will make it for a month so i can try to save up some money? How do you tell it is gone, because it still seems to shift, and run, just doesnt seem to have a whole lot of power from time to time. Thanks!

Ive heard tales of DMF's coming apart and busting the tranny bell housing. But I'm sure others drive a long time with bad ones. What i'm saying is its a risk, but take it easy and fix it asap and I think you'll be ok. IMHO.......

thanks guys. This may be stupid but i was wondering what exactly do those springs on the flywheel do? I have worked on lots of cars, and have noticed them, but never really thought about there function.
thanks
