Default FLYWHEEL - SOLID MASS or DUAL MASS???

Hello,

I think I made a mistake... 3000miles ago I changed my clutch and flywheel. The clutch is carbon stage 2. Flywheel is solid mass. From the beginning there is some noise when the car is accelerating from low revolutions to about 2000 revolutions on each gear. I think this is because the solid flywheel, because there is nothing to rob the clearances. Now I'm planing to change clutch and the flywheel. Can somebody offer me which to choose (I will be happy if I find low cost set)? Is there anybody else who have same problem with this noise whit solid flywheel?

What do you mean? Is it normal because I'm using solid mass Flywheel? And will this damage the transmission in future?

Its normal going from the oem dual mass flywheel (which dampens the noise & vibrations) to a solid mass flywheel. Honestly I wouldn't worry about it.

This is 100% normal from a single mass lightweight flywheel.

There is no increase in noise but there is an increase in transmitted noise. So that just means you hear it more now.

It doesn't damage anything. Dual mass eventually wear out and fail. A solid flywheel is 1 piece so there is no mechanical parts to break. Unless I'm idling I'm never below 2k rpms anyways.
