Hi everyone.
I have a transmission problem and I am looking for some advice.
My 2007 X250 2.3 has started to shudder sometimes when taking off. It's not frequent but I am worried it will get worse - I also have the reverse judder but that never really bothered me because I don't use it much. I have no noticeable clutch slip in any other gears.
I guess it's going to be the clutch or flywheel issue but since it's 8 hours labour I will replace both if it I decide to get it fixed. My dilemma is that a dealer quoted me > $2000AUD for a dual mass flywheel and I may decide to sell the van instead. I was hoping the flywheel could be machined but that's not possible apparently. I suspect I can order a DMF from Europe but given the weight I am not sure it will be cheaper.
Can someone confirm if the 2.3 120 X250 van has a dual mass flywheel?
I have found conflicting reports online - some say all the 2.3 have single mass flywheels and only the 3 litre has dual mass, regardless of the year. The dealer spare parts person had no idea (the spare part description doesn't say) and she just asked someone in the office and they said 'they all have Dual mass'. I'm not sure I trust the answer.
I have also read that it may be possible to convert from a dual mass to solid flywheel. Has anyone done this and does it affect drivability?
Thanks
