well january has been a month of new tyres, wheel refurb and road tax...ouch

but i dont think im far away from needing a new clutch / flywheel,

other than the loba kits, have any of you got experience of fitting other kits / flywheels?

Thanks

I have a Sachs clutch on mine and single lightened / balanced flywheel.. no complaints, almost feels OEM, just a slightly firmer pedal.. i do get slight chatter from the flywheel at very low revs but thats usually when it's in the wrong gear lol...

Nothing wrong with standard (and dmf) unless you spend your life launching...

Mrc also do a single mass flywheel and standard clutch option that saves about £500 on the price. Useful if you're on a budget and don't mind losing the dmf.

im going to sound really thick here but please remind me of the benefits with a dual mass flywheel compared to a single??

The dmf takes up slack / slip when engaging. With a single mass the gearbox input shaft can chatter if you don't rev match "nicely". Plenty of people use smf and are fine. Others prefer the OE feel and drivability of the dmf.

hi daytonars4 I am inline for a new clutch as well would love to know where your at and costs involved

thanks for the replies,

iv got a little thinking to do, but i might go for the MRC option, currently working abroad for a month and might combine a trip to MRC for clutch / stage 2 map
