Allowable Movement in Dual Mass Flywheel
I'm preparing to have a shop do a clutch for me, I'm going OEM (Luk) and I have a question about the flywheel.
I picked up a used flywheel from a local lister (thanks, Gabriel) that was newly resurfaced.
With the dual mass flywheel, the two halfs can rotate back and forth slightly, I've heard this to absorb drivetrain shock and vibration when engaging / disengaging.
One thing I'm not sure about is that I can rotate the 2 halfs back and forth about 5 degrees which seems like a lot to me. This works out to about 1.75 inches when measured around the perimeter.
When the clutch is engaged, will this movement cause drivetrain slop?
Would a new flywheel be any different?

"OEM is teh best"
Just kidding, I was under the impression that the pedal effort was higher on the Centerforce and its a daily driver and I'm getting old...
