Dual Mass?
Would you be able to tell if you have a dual mass flywheel by taking the cover off that goes between the bottom of the transmission and engin? What to look for if you can? I hope someone put in a solid flywheel so when the time comes to replace the clutch thats all I have to replace, and it looks like that time may be comming soon. If it was switch to solid will I have a hard time finding a clutch to fit?
Thanks

Mine was the same way when I changed it on my 94'. I don't think you can tell by removing the inspection plate. The clutch will not be hard to find. I think I paid $575 to my door with the solid fly wheel conversion from Luk clutch.

You can see the side of the flywheel if you remove that cover. A DMF will have what looks like 2 flywheels one on top of the other. The SMF will be obvious and will be a single piece. If you have a SMF you will have to remove it anyway, so you can have it resurfaced. I wouldn't waste the time changing the clutch and pressure plate without resurfacing the flywheel.
As far as parts you can go to carolina clutch. They are a sponsor of this site also. I have heard Vaiar (sp?) is also a good place.

I need to do uppipesand thought I would get rid of my DMF at the same time. Hopefully I can add the H2E at the sametime.

How long do the stock clutchs last? My truck had a goose neck in the back and cement all over the bed probably from a bricklayer so the thing pulled some weight at one time. Has 112k.

i'm all about the stiff clutch pedal.
the non stiff clutches make it hard for a good takeoff IMO.
Got in my buddies s10 one time about put the clutch through the floorboard.
i'm gladd my 86s10 had a stiff clutch.

My original clutch lasted 97,000 miles with the DMF. And the clutch still was fine but the DMF went bad.
