Single-Mass Flywheel Conversion

[Siena]

Hi guys,

Just trying to get some feedback on what kind of clutches you run when going from dual-mass to single-mass flywheel.

Obviously, the OEM clutch friction disc has a solid hub, as the dual-mass flywheel is sprung. Some users still prefer to run an OEM solid hub clutch friction disc, whilst some revert to a sprung hub disc.

Which do you run, and why?
How do you find pedal feel and noise at idling?

Thanks!

OEM disc is is sprung hub.

Thanks, Okim, my mistake!

No problem

I have used Fidanza flywheel and Clutch masters stage4 8 puck clutch (sprung hub).

It is very easy to use, it grabs little stronger than original but not badly. Flywheel doesn't make any chatter when idling. It chatters when driving under ~1800-2000 rpm if you "use the force" Over that it is silent.

A friend just bought one off me, for a '98 2,8 30V A4 quattro.

They're obviously dual-mass as standard, with a solid hub clutch friction disc.
It's now running a single-mass flywheel, but still with an OEM solid clutch disc, and doesn't feel different from stoc.
Pedal bites a bit lower, and the take-up is really nice and sharp.

Interesting to see the B5 RS4 runs dual-mass, yet still retains a sprung hub clutch disc.
