my carens vibrates as it passes 1600revs it changes gear both up and down ok with a good footful of clutch ,i can feel the clutch through the pedal when depressed its a 2ltr crdi [4dea]does anyone know if it has a dual mass clutch or not if it has can it be changed for a real one[ or is it the gear box]im trying hard to like it

According to my disc the 2008 Carens has a dual mass flywheel

Not sure if you can get a solid flywheel conversion for this model. If so I don't think you would have to change the gearbox.

thanks davy i should have said mine is 2005 6400mls ive just seen clutches on ebay for carens @2005 as ordinary 3 piece but i cant be sure the app is ok unless i strip it [it might be syncro hub vibrating goodness only knows how much that will be]

The discI have only goes back to 2007 so I cant be sure yours has same flywheel. The symptoms you have does sound like a dual mass type i.e rattling sound and vibes through pedal.
Looking at the diag for the clutch parts there is only the 3 bits, bearing, pressure plate and friction plate.

thanks again davy im off to my friendly mechy with bucky under my arm and see what he thinks if it was twin plate borg and beck i could diagnose it myself but im not up with this later technology

2005 should be a solid flywheel, dual mass came in with the VGT engine and 6 speed box.
Dual mass failure normally shows up as clutch slip at high torque.
