I have left from my automatic conversion my DMF.

Is it a serviceable unit? I'm about 99% sure it had broken springs, from lugging too low RPM's when I bought it - supposedly a common problem...

Is it trash, or list-able, on eBay?

It had about 31.6k on it when the conversion was done.....................................

Mine knocks in one direction slightly. It only acts up when there is a misfire and sometimes when the engine turns off, it knocks once. I was able to find a much better used one which I'm saving for later. The spring that damps the accelerating direction is still good so I'm gonna run it for the duration of this clutch.

I think I read that the springs are supposed to absorb vibration at low rpm's.

I had to set torque convertor lockup over 45 for that vibration. Any lower, and the whole car would shake, even at speed.
