I know of one SRT with a manual, including the German forum Markus refers to below... HDDP's. Good luck on info about reliability lol.
I'm not sure what you're asking? It runs like it came that way from the factory. My ECU's aren't rigged or anything lol.

We have a 5.0 MT test car over here in germany. The dual mass flywheel was ready for the scrap heap after about 12 K miles.

Number one, the trans is rated for 370 nm (272 ft-lbs) Markus
. The SRT stock is less than that, but the 5.0 is 460 nm.
Now if that's Phil, that's not true Markus. Plus, I've talked to a minimum 3 companies about our dual mass that would know and they all say the same thing. That 50-60 lb chunk of metal isn't going anywhere, and will hold a ton more than even a 55K motor...

Let's put it this way. With what I was told from people who know this flywheel and clutch setup, it's built like a tank. If you have ever seen the setup in person your jaw would drop. It takes two people to position it on the motor. The Crossfire's flywheel is seriously THE LEAST problematic area of the entire car. Why do you think Rudy is building a clutch not a flywheel for my setup that is goal oriented for twice the torque I currently have
.
I will seriously put good money on Phil doing all of the following if he seriously went through a flywheel: Rode the clutch all day everyday, it was a C230's, launched in second, and no cool down after heavy use. Guarenteed.
