I forget the specifics, but one of the purposes of dual-mass flywheels
is to attenuate transmission noise. Audi (& Porsche) did something
different with their trannys at a certain date, and one of the results
was the need for a DM FW on all subsequent models. I just forget what
the hell it was that they did.
This is in addition to other reasons for going with the DM unit.
There was a terrific article that dissected the DM unit and spoke to the
reasons for its existence in the Brit mag 911 World several years ago.
Great article, anyone happen to have it handy?
