Can you please find out what the torque is for the pressure plate to the flywheel?
I also noticed that the flywheel is like a 2 piece, the one with the teeth and then another one attached to the front of it where the clutch sits on it, i noticed they are one piece but the front one has a bit of play if you move it but did not try to separate them.

Hi,

This is a dual-mass flywheel (DMF). It is designed to reduce engine vibration and provide smoother power.

The DMF consists of two flywheels connected by a series of springs or dampers. One flywheel is connected to the engine crankshaft, while the other is connected to the transmission input shaft. The springs or dampers between the flywheels absorb and dampen the vibrations and shocks generated by the engine, resulting in reduced noise, improved drivability, and less stress on the transmission.

Because if its design, what you are noticing is normal.

As far as the torque specifications are concerned, I attached them below for you. Note there is a tightening sequence to follow when doing this.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe

Hi,

Sorry about that. I got focused on the flywheel type and forgot this.

I attached that information below. Let me know if this helps.

Take care,
