Im trying to find the cheapest way out of this clutch situation. I no i have duel mass flywheel and there pretty pricey so i been looking at the solid fly wheel conversion kits on ebay for around $900 and i have a best mate who can fit it for next to nothing. Can anyone shed some light onto this? cheers
