This dual mass flywheel conversion kit replaces the stock dual mass setup in your 6-speed transmission with a more reliable single mass setup. While dual mass flywheels offer smooth clutch engagements and a luxurious feel, they come with higher costs and reduced serviceability. Here's why you should consider converting to a single-mass flywheel:

Cost: Dual mass flywheels are expensive to replace, making a single-mass conversion a more budget-friendly option. Serviceability: Single-mass flywheels can be resurfaced, extending their lifespan, while dual-mass flywheels typically require complete replacement. Simplicity: Single-mass flywheels are less complex and more reliable, as they lack the rubber components that wear out in dual-mass flywheels. Driveability: Valeo's conversion kit maintains clutch and flywheel weight for quiet and easy driving.

This kit includes a replacement flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing/throw-out bearing, flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts, and an alignment tool. Keep in mind that the installation of a lightened single mass flywheel may result in some "NVH" or "chatter" during operation. Modifications can also influence the amount of "NVH" or "chatter" in the drivetrain.
