The excessive flywheel mass on this 3.7 is one of the first things I noticed, having a lightweight flywheel on my scion, and it makes heel toeing in the mustang a pain in the butt. I cope with it but I feel like im always waiting on the revs to match.

Since the "vibration" thread has suggested that the dual-mass flywheel might be the source of the shudder some of us MT guys are feeling, how about a conventional, solid, flywheel?

This seems to be a fairly common mod in the audi and VW world where several of the cars come with dual mass flywheels.

And if its lighter all the better for me....

I noticed this too, as far as I'm concerned dual mass flywheels can burn in hell. lol

I still have some connections in automotive parts manufacturing so if 10 people were interested I could makes some calls about getting a run of flywheel clutch combo's done but they wouldn't be cheap.

I notice the revs hang in there too because of the flywheel. I was wondering if there were an alternative that might also translate in less loss.

Oh are you talking about when going through the gears the rpms seem to stay high? thought was me just riding the gas pedal but most times my foot not even touching? that's the fly wheel doing that?

The flywheel is probably to blame for a little bit of rev hang, however I suspect that part of it has to do with the calibration of the throttle by wire system

yeah I would defenatly think of the throttle since on the Auto is the same thing,,,,,, no flywheel but a big heavy converter
