My clutch gave out and it seems that dual-mass flywheels should be replaced, not re-used.
Has anyone re-used one without trouble?
I see there are single-mass conversion kits out there as well.
Is there a good source for either in the GTA, or is ordering from the USA the better route?
I see dual-mass clutch and flywheels kits for as little as US$370, and single-mass conversion kits around US$500.
Any experience and suggestions would be welcome!

Ive heard the same about re-using them. I would try to go with a new clutch/flywheel route, but if your flywheel is in decent shape and doesn't have any bad scores or hot spots then i'd rough it up with some 200 grit sand paper and put a new clutch in. Saves you time, money and works.
