    My TDI with a single mass has a really interesting mechanical rattle that I've only heard in dedicated track cars... Its not bad; its not particularly intrusive; its just... interesting.
    Apart from that, no issues - on mine at least.

    That's pretty normal

    I replaced the dual mass flywheel in my 350Z
    It now makes tractor noises below 1,800rpm under load

    Been on the track plenty of times

    I've mastered the art of accelerating just fast enough to match bogans in commodores (keeps their hopes up) and then destroy them when they change gear.

    Pretty happy
    I imagine it would be less noticeable in a manual?

    I think that's what people refer to as clutch "chatter"?
