everyday driving: single mass vs. dual mass setup
I'm deciding on whether to go single mass flywheel or not. Aside from the negative of more noise and the positive of less wear on the synchros & a more responsive engine associated with SM, how is the everyday driveability?
I've seen threads where its kind of tricky for new SM users when launching, but thats the dragway, which isn't a concern.

I'll let you know in a few days. I'm having my DM flywheel replaced with a single mass aluminum flywheel from Fidanza. The kit uses a sprung-hub F-body clutch disk and the stock Corvette pressure plate.
I can't wait to drive it :cool:

Re: everyday driving: single mass vs. dual mass setup (bradvette)
I just replaced my 92 clutch and flywheel with the OEM LT4 dual mass and clutch. The weights matched up and I like this set up. No noise and it does well. My engine is mostly stock and there is no slippage. I went through the mental battle of trying to decide on single mass or not. Then I got a great deal off e-bay for the flywheel and clutch combo brand new for $400. If the rattling tranny sound is okay with you, I'd go with the single mass as it is much cheaper. But if you like a smooth quiet tranny, stay with the OEM set up.
