Valeo KIT4P Solid Flywheel Conversion Kits provide a high performing and efficient solution for replacing the dual mass flywheel (DMF). The KIT4P design is composed of a rigid flywheel - with no wear parts - after eliminating the need the flywheel has been replaced. In order to provide the same clutch function, maximum engine torque transfer and full gearbox protection, KIT4P contains a clutch kit made of Valeo’s long travel damper technology, which is widely used by Valeo as original equipment.
Features:
Premium Friction Material for Increased Durability: Valeo's enhanced F510 friction material is composed of an organic compound and higher copper content providing better heat dissipation and preventing premature failure
Consistent Driver Comfort: The long travel damper technology consists of a specific friction plate with a higher damper capacity for improved filtration of noise, vibration and harshness maintaining the comfort of the original clutch
Maximum Torque Transfer: Due to the flywheel's solid composition, combined with the increased clamp load of the Clutch Cover (Pressure Plate), this kit is able to increase torque transfer efficiency
Simple Bolt-on Installation: No special tools or pre-loading required
What Is A Solid Flywheel Conversion Kit?
A Solid Flywheel Conversion Kit is used to convert a vehicle originally equipped with a dual mass flywheel to a solid flywheel. This conversion requires no special tools, you can simply bolt the Solid Flywheel Conversion Kit in place of your previous Dual Mass Flywheel Clutch. There are some Pros and Cons of a Solid Flywheel Conversion to consider:
PROS
Price: Solid Flywheels are typically much cheaper than Dual Mass Flywheels
Increased Durability: Solid Flywheels are more durable than Dual Mass Flywheels because there are no springs or moving pieces
Can Be Resurfaced: Unlike Dual Mass Flywheels, Solid Flywheels can be resurfaced instead of replaced during clutch replacement if still within factory specifications
CONS
Increased Vibration and Noise: Solid Flywheels cannot absorb noise and vibration as well as Dual Mass Flywheels do, so you may experience a rougher or noisier drive
Increased Transmission Wear: The reduced dampening ability of a Solid Flywheel can lead to increased wear and tear on your transmission and drivetrain
