no.Solid flywheel is thick..Dual mass is about 5mm shallower but both about the same when you put clutches and pressure plates together..Are you saying that there are differences between dual mass flywheels????? surely all flywheels should be same as going to same engine??

Clutch assemblies are made to work as a unit - e.g flywheel, pressure plate and clutch plate. The tolerances are quite small between engagement and slipping.

Is it a 2-cable gearbox linkage system.

Must be a mismatch in clutch and dual mass then if everything is fitted correctly..

You will have to get a complete 03 kit, it looks like this set for your comparison.

But is it the right kit ?

I've had this problem before with Vito's and Mini all wheel drive LUK clutch kits and DMF's

Its the clutch plate that's the problem iirc.

How much travel is there at the pedal before you feel resistance?

I fitted a Valeo kit and it sorted the problem the clutch plates were different ...................... I just remembered.
