My understanding of the issues is that the clutch is not completely disengaging and building up enormous heat and failing. Besides a simpler single clutch design and a heavier flywheel, the Centerforce hydraulics have a longer rod on the release cylinder and additional insulation and braided lines. They are mum on their redesign except that “factory specifications were inconsistent”.Many MT vehicles have dual mass flywheels. My previous 3 vehicles all had them with stock clutches and there were no issues related to drivability. I dont think the DMF has anything to do with the ASS or drivability on this platform. I believe the drivability and stall-happy nature of these is 100% related to the twin disk clutch setup and for some of us, the really tall stock gearing. I have zero evidence to support this, but this is my opinion from driving 500,000+ miles on other vehicles with DMFs with no discernible difference in drivability between single and dual mass. Maybe FCA will pick something from the LuK catalog instead of just doing another reflash.. wishful thinking.
