I will fling that dual mass flywheel across the yard. Told the dealer about it and they were not helpful at all. Hence I told them I would yank that junk out and put a proper clutch, flywheel, and CSC setup in it. Basically, to shove it where the sun don't shine, they were not getting any of my money.

Parts guy I have bought mucho parts from says he keeps a clutch/flywheel on the shelf for the 370z so it is not uncommon.

I guess it's a sign that my clutch is worn possibly? clutch fluid is still same colour as when I got the car but I do check weekly when driving... I am debating do a pre-emptive strike next year and do the CSC + switch to a new clutch system.... depends on the wallet

A lightweight flywheel is absolutely worth doing, just know that there are drawbacks.
