softer gear change on dual ? Or its just a myth? I drove audi a4 before and after conversion. Would say i felt difference: more harsh shifting. But heard other peolle are not so picky.

In my case I want to leave dmf, change only the spring and disc for kevlar one.

Got my first car with a DMF just recently so I tried to do some research on whether to convert or not. There seems to be two trains of thought a) The go ahead and do the conversion crowd whose main reason is the expense of the DMF and B) the stick with the DMF crowd who generally say the solid flywheel conversion puts extra strain on the camshafts and burns out a standard clutch quicker so negates any savings by needing more frequent clutch changes.

This is the first place I've seen suggestions to use a carbon clutch or to use kevlar. I suppose using either carbon / kevlar clutches would increase the cost partly if not wholly negating the savings on the DMF So my question would be - does the conversion accelerate the wear on the solid flywheel if you do use uprated clutch components regardless of the material used ?

Benefits of solid conversion is its an single heavy piece of metal (often billet steel) it has a greater heat capacity than the DMF and therefore can absorb more heat, meaning that the clutch is less likely to overheat
