“Clacking”
sound in LuK version dual-mass flywheel with centrifugal pendulum absorber
Depending on version, clutch modules
A
with or without centrifugal pendulum absorbers may be fitted.
When a clutch module with a centrifugal pendulum absorber is turned by hand, a
“clacking”
sound can be heard at intervals of approx. 90°.
This is caused by moving pendulum masses in the dual-mass flywheel and is not a fault.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
