Hi people just wonderd if anyone knows about this had car to garage but didnt know what it was when am changing gear it clanks from the workings under air box any ideas b4 i have to go to ford much app

 

DMF on its way out me thinks-

 

whats a DMF

 

about Ł700! dmf= dual mass flywheel

 

i would go with DMF aswell.

 

OUCH

 

no it aint fucking Ł700 lol.

it is in solid gold.

i got a quote from local good garage. for clutch kit AND dmf for just shy of Ł500 (the whole lot)

if you buy dmf on own its around Ł350

 

is that fitted? and with new slave cylinder?

 

i managed to get my new DMF with 3 piece clutch for Ł250 ish (mate works at Ford) the expensive part was getting it fitted lol

 

whats the duel mass part mean been looking at a light weight one and is fly wheel connected to the selector seems like it was the thing making the noise it clanks if hot cold engine on or off so all time thanks for info narrows it down a bit how long u think b4 packs in ??? better get saving lol

 

Generally the slave cylinder should come with clutch kit. But not always.

No not fitted. But depends who fits it shouldn't really cost Ł200 for fitting

 

So Ł700 for a DMF fitted was spot on.
When mine went i was quoted between Ł800-Ł1200 to have the work done so i spent Ł800 on an solid lightweight fly uprated pressure plate, stage 3 clutch and OEM slave cylinder then fitted it myself. No need to worry about the DMF anymore and the car will now hit 60 in under 7 second

 

cheers m8 does this sound like what happend to you when yours went and where did you get your light weight fly and that from go tryn sorce them any idea how long av got b4 it goes ??

 

When mine went it started making an intermittent chattering sound as idle, the noise would go away completely when the clutch was depressed, easily mistaken for a duff slave cylinder bearing. When i removed the DMF it was well gone, you could easily press on the edge of the front face and it would make contact with the rear plate, this is what makes the noise, the two plates touching eachother. I sourced my fly and clutch etc from CFM in america but since then i am told the TTV now produce a solid fly wheel for the ST170 that accepts the larger clutch friction plate, make sure you get the fly wheel for the 240mm clutch plate and not the smaller one otherwise it will slip. Early ST170's had smaller clutches 220mm and they began to slip so the later models got a larger clutch plate.
If you go for a solid lighter fly like mine be prepared for clutch chatter, the lightweight fly allows the gears in the gearbox to rock and chatter against eachother at idle, the noise goes away when in gear and with the clutch down but it is quite loud, it sounds like your gearbox is well broken. I will be honest it gets on my tits quite a bit but it transformed the car

 

Yeh true that lol.

I was being ignorant as my mates brother normally does my work who charges cheaper than most rip off garages.


I found on fordpartsuk for About Ł290 Inc vat. Cover, plate and slave cylinder + bearing

 

all good info will give it a thought would the fly wheel whine like a bearing ??av got the knocking that comes and goes and the clanking when changeing gear

 

If you do change the DMF, where possible you change the crank seal as i believe they are a push (light tap with hammer) fit and only a Ł5 or so, it might save you having to take everything apart again if the seal was to start weeping.

 

likey folks can i put the 240mm in instead of the smaller one just been on to buy it and guys dont know if you can fit the bigger clutch n fly to the 03 plates cheers
