ive seen a dual mass flywheel smash a bellhousing, take a massive chunk off the block and tear open the bulkhead on a focus so i for one would not just leave it!
nearly everyone i change is a pain to remove as they end up with that much play the centre of the dmf rubs against the heads of the bolts holding it on causing them to wear away so they are difficult to remove, if left they wear away to nothing then see above!
