Clutch plate out on deck, bit of fine (400) cloth wrapped around a small block, GENTLY resurface/deglaze, job done.Quote:

Google gives me a bunch of results talking about a dual mass flywheel & converting to a solid flywheel, can anyone explain this to me? Sounds like it's worth doing for a long term keeper truck to avoid future problems? Approx cost?
@cambo is probably best for pros/cons/benefits on that
a 130 is way pre-dual mass surely?
Found a conversion kit on t/me, genuine toyota for like 1100 bucks
I dunno, I just googled it & it seems like the Kzn130 has dual massQuote:

Dual mass fly wheels are ment to take the harshness out of the Diesel engine/gearbox
Gayest idea ever they are shit if it hasn't had it changed do the conversion
Very had to tell if it's got one or not till you pop the box out
the kzn130 originally has a dual mass f/wheel, it has friction linings and springs built into the f/wheel,they fail and should be replaced every time a clutch is done.the other option is a solid f/w replacement kit cheaper and less problems, not quite as smooth when driving but not a problem,I can sell you a new Exedy clutch kit complete with solid f/wheel for $860.00 including gst + delivery from christchurch what ever the courier charge would be.if the clutch has been done before it might allready have a solid f/w fitted,you will need to pull it out to check.i am a brake and clutch specialist my own business for 30 yrs.
i had mine done in my kzn130 about a year ago, my gearbox shit itself and i managed to stuff the clutch and flywheel doing the gearbox myself (long story filled with lots of profanity). the bill from the mechanic was 1500 fitted for a brand new flywheel and clutch. he told me its not worth replacing the old dual mass one the new ones are just as good and alot cheaper.
Cheers for the info guys. Will look into getting the flywheel conversion after xmas
Yup, the 130's had a dual mass flywheel. Reknowned for crapping out. Makes noises like someone is trying to escape out of the bellhousing.
New they 'aint cheap either! There are solid conversion kits available. Have done many swaps in my time. Pretty simple conversion.
Hardest part is getting the fricken box out. Much easier if you have a hoist available to use.
Get hold of Tony at Clutch Systems in CHCH for the parts ;)
I can supply you a kit if you need one we can do the conversions ect but it is recommended if you replace you do the d/mass flywheel at the same time or if you choose to go down the solid flywheel option can cause more problems as the vibrations ect move to the next weakest link (have heard of cranks breaking) but either way not cheap
