To inspect it you would probably have to remove the gear box to get at it.----

Hello David, to answer your specific question, here's LUK's damper springs fatigue test in graphic form. This is the upper limit and shouldn't be exceeded. Note that the 'teeth' mentioned here aren't the starter ring teeth. The DMF has a separate series of square 'teeth' on the inner mass. There's more available if you need it.

I looked at checking the DMF free play in situ by jacking one front wheel up with the car in gear, and measuring the rotational movement of the wheel. Any play in the gearbox, differential and drive shaft would affect the result but should be minimal, so you could get a ball park figure for the condition of the DMF.

That was years ago mind, and nothing came of it. I'm happy to measure mine, which I know is worn, if someone can get the measurement of a good one and we can compare the results.

Courtesy of the search function this is the original thread: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=155554

I'll have to measure mine again to see how much more it has worn.
