just bought a 60,000mile roadster , car was very cheap due to faulty dual mass flywheel , car drives fine just has an annoying clutch rattle do any forum members know where i can get a non franchise flywheel or a low mileage used flywheel , i can source a new luk clutch for £230. is the slk320 flywheel an option ? Great car with the hood down look forward to a few more sunny days but living in the uk a few days without rain would be nice!

 

Are you sure it is not the catalyst breaking up. That makes an annoying rattle and is
in the same proximity. I'm sure you're right but felt I had to ask?

thanks dave , ive been looking on ebay , well spotted , its the same engine m112.947 , ive been offerd a used dual mass for £250 , but £336 for a new one is a no brainer , especially when chrysle want over £800 , thanks for your help

 

thanks for the help , but when i depress the clutch the noise virtually ceases all together , so it looks like i will be spending a day removing a big lump of a gearbox , But i only gave £2700 for the car ,due to the flywheel fault and i reckon on around £600 for parts to replace clutch,flywheel and slave cylinder , so it should be a cheap convertible for the summer.

 

no problem mate, thats why we all hers was looking because you can get a solid flywheel conversion but doesnt look like you can for our cars
