I purchased my leon with a lot of tuning and modification work done to it by jabbasport

The one noticeable difference is it has the sachs racing clutch fitted with the jabbasport lightened flywheel.

Now on idle with the clutch pedal lifted it makes the car sound like a tractor, this i'm told is completely normal as it causes a slight vibration on the intermediate shaft, the noise hasn't got any worse in the 10,000 miles i've owned it but i do that many miles and sometimes in stop start traffic i'm getting a bit annoyed with the noise.

Is it possible to keep the sachs racing clutch and use either a standard dual mass or use a different type of solid mass flywheel? Perhaps one supplied by darkside? http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/darkside-02j-b-single-mass-flywheel.html

Unsure at the minute if that one i've linked would be suitable or the correct one, i may have to phone them up and ask for their advice but thought i'd drop the question on here as someone might know the answer.

The car is mapped, maximum figures are 193bhp and 493NM torque
 
Would it be worth putting a dual mass back in then?

Obviously it wouldn't last as long as a single mass, but i've been told i'd easily get 100,000 miles out of it since i'm mainly doing motorway miles, i don't exactly drive it like i stole it all the time :)
