    Fluid Damper GROUP BUY. thru 13 Dec 12

    I do not like the look of the crank snout in the picture. The seal usually sits past the chamfer on the tip, but this looks like a pretty good ding. Can you get some closer shots and email to me directly at [email protected] for further evaluation. I am not sure how these units have...

    You are welcome Steve. I am sorry to hear about your sons unfortunate accident. The Fluidampr can be switched to the other engine without issue. The Fluidampr does not take "set" to a particular engine when installed and will function normal when switched. Feel free to let me know if you have...

    Fluid Damper GROUP BUY. thru 13 Dec 12

    Hi Steve, Thank you for the feedback and your questions. There are definite benefits on a high mileage motor even though damage may have already been done. One, would be replacing the failing stock damper. Since you stated this has already been done, you may not feel the damper doing its job...

    Hello from Fluidampr Guy!

    The trans damper does not play a role in protecting the crank. However, by switching from a dual mass flywheel to a solid flywheel will upset the inertia balance of the engine. Therefore, by doing so, one should look into an aftermarket crank damper to extend the longevity of crankshaft...

    Hello from Fluidampr Guy!

    The torque converter has just as much effect on the rotating assembly as a flywheel would on a manual transmission engine, it is just an additional mass in the system as far as the crankshaft is concerned. The torque converter has a damping effect on the driveline after the engine, similar to a...

    Hello from Fluidampr Guy!

    Shiker- 1). Driven accessories can have an effect on the crankshaft if they transmit their own vibration pulses back to the crank, especially through gear sets. They are more of an issue with rubber OEM style and O-ring style dampers that are only effective over a narrow frequency band...

    Introduction posted... thanks for the tip and the welcome! 6.2- As there are so many factors that can lead to vibration issues (worn elastomeric damper, performance upgrades or any change regarding the rotating assembly), it is hard to know what exactly may be exciting your vibration issue at...

    Hello Everyone! My name is Ivan Snyder and I work for Fluidampr. I decided to join as I enjoy getting involved in any discussions that have to do with torsional vibrations and damper solutions. I know this can be a sticky subject on which damper is best. I am not here to get into arguments...
