How Much Does a Dual-Mass Flywheel Cost?
The dual-mass flywheel is why modern clutch jobs quote higher than old ones. A Cranbourne West specialist explains.
What drives the cost
DMF cost combines a substantial part (it’s a precision damped assembly, dearer on diesels and DSGs) with clutch-job labour — the gearbox comes out either way, which is exactly why a worn DMF is almost always replaced with the clutch rather than paying that labour twice.
Rattle at idle, vibration and juddery take-off are its signatures.
What the job involves
We measure the DMF’s free play and condition whenever a clutch is out, show you the findings, and advise honestly — reusing a healthy one, replacing a worn one, and discussing solid-flywheel conversions only where they genuinely suit the use.

Rattle at idle (especially clutch up), vibration, and juddery take-off.
