DCT Worn Clutches? Thoughts?

UPDATED
Hey all!

My 2009 has 115K miles on it, and now looks like the DCT is being wonky.

I discovered last year it was flaring up when going from 1-2 gear and felt like it was slipping.

This year, I had a shop do the following work:

• Swapped back stock flywheel from the TTV Racing lightweight flywheel.
• New upgraded aluminum main & side pans from EPM.
• New fluid & filters.

Shop will try next:

• Clutch relearn
• Alpine GTS tune

Shop and I are suspecting worn clutches could be the cause. 1-2 still flaring up and looks like even 3-4 sometimes. I haven’t seen many people talk about this kind of issue. Thoughts?

Updates posted below

UPDATE 1
Ended up sourcing a 88K mile DCT with a 90 day warranty. GTS tune made the car even worse, which I was surprised as others I’ve heard in the past would say it supposed to make the DCT better “but what do I know”.

UPDATE 2
Picked up the car today, 4/2/26. Car seems to be okay sometimes. Revs will flare up here and there, but jolts/buckles hard when coming to a stop or when start moving again from stationary. Looking forward to this replacement trans.

What was the reason you swapped back to stock from the lightweight flywheel?

BajanDCT The chatter was a lot when at idle or low speeds. I would drown it out with music. I do a lot of roadtrips and have passengers, it would get old really quick and they always thought the car was broken.

I had my rear main seal done and figured might as well now let’s go back to stock.

Already sold the flywheel to someone who’s building a time attack E92. I don’t see much track time so it’s perfect for the other individual.
