Patrol GU dual mass flywheel

Rolande - I have the same vehicle as you and have also pondered this question. The major problem seems to be as far as I can work out is that it is not advisable (possible?) to machine the dual mass flywheel with any great certainty that it is going to hold up for any length of time. The real question then is do you but a new dual mass flywheel or go for the Exeddy (formerly Daikin) aftermarket solid flywheel and HD clutch. IMHO I would be going for the aftermarket option given that at 222000kms you are probably going to replace the vehicle long before you wear the new kit out and in doing so saved yourself $1500 in parts alone. I've also talked this over with the local Clutch and Brake Specialist and they agree that the aftermarket option would be the way to go.
Interestingly they also pointed out that they have considerable problems with the dual mass flywheels fitted to most vehicles and especially those fitted to HSV holdens.
I would be interested in what you decide to do.
Cheers
Pete

Gday rolande
I agree to replace it with the aftermarket
We have done this conversion to the 3.0 litre patrols.
The dual mass flywheel face, actually all faces on flywheels wear on a taper due to the pressures of the clutch pressure plate. You can't machine these so it will work out better to replace it with a solid state flywheel which will be machineable in the future. The last one we did actually worked out cheaper with the conversion instead of new genuine.
FYI
