modern cars now have a DMF (dual mass flywheel) which is now made in two separate halves with bonded rubber in between instead of one a piece steel flywheel so too much strain on the clutch can eventually shorten the life of the clutch.

I think that you have a DMF misunderstaning (as I did until not long ago)
theres no bonding involved. im not going to try to explain it, this vid is soo much easier :)


DMF explained

Thanks for that. I watched the video clip (in the link) and found it quite interesting and informative and understand more of how the DMF works. When I was briefly told that it was in two halves I assumed it was bonded together by a type of rubber compound to absorb more impact of the contact of the clutch and flywheel but it just goes to show how things can be explained with detailed facts in a short video. Forgive me then if my previous post was a bit misleading.
