CLUTCH CLINIC DMF CONVERSION KITS – SERVICE KITS

MODELS Various models fitted with DMF conversion kits (SMF)

RESULT Inability to supply correct clutch parts

PROBLEM Vehicles already fitted with a DMF conversion kit that require new clutch units (Service Kit)

The DMF conversion kits that replace the Dual Mass Flywheel with a single mass/solid flywheel can be manufactured by different companies. When supplying the clutch service kits for vehicles that have already been fitted with a conversion kit it is very important to establish the correct parts required as in many cases the kits are not interchangeable. Before you start the job, please answer the following question: Do you know the type of solid flywheel kit fitted to the vehicle. What was the brand name? It is imperative to find out what brand/type conversion kit was originally fitted in order to supply the correct clutch service kit, failure to carry this out could result in costly warranty issues. If the manufacturer cannot be identified then it is far safer to supply and fit another full conversion kit or return back to the DMF system.
