My clutch has just gone on my st170. I have just gone for the same dmf to be replaced. I toyed with the idea of putting in a solid flywheel but wondered whether it may reduce the longevity of the engine as there must be a reason ford put it in? I understand it's to take the load as it engages but even if you put in a sprung friction plate with a solid flywheel wouldn't it still be snappy on engagement?
