Flywheel noise...technical service bulletin?

I'm bringing my car in to the dealer next week for scheduled service. I told them about the infamous flywheel noise that I'm having, but my SA does not seem to know that it is a common problem.

To make things quicker and easier when I bring the car in, I want to show them the tech. bulletin for the dual mass flywheel. I know of a website where you can access the documents, but it rather pricy. Does anyone here have that tech bulletin already printed out? or even just a bulletin number that I can refer to when I bring my car in? Thanks!

Are you talking about the clutch chatter when launching?

No. The noise arises when i put it in neutral and let the clutch out. It's a ticking/tapping noise that many here have experienced.

I do notice a bit of a chatter when launching without giving it any gas though. But if i launch very very gently, then there's no chatter. I just attributed the chatter to the DMF.
