Bet you can't wait  :driver:

Do you need to upgrade the flywheel too?

What difference does it make running the smf as opposed to dmf? Just abit more vibration?

Matto I believe the SMF is stronger and there's less chance of failure, DMF's are prone to failure due to having the spring dampener in instead of having them in the clutch plate.

I'm sure the experts can enlighten us further if they look here.

I thought that would be one of the reasons. I know the mk4's were prone for the same problem. Thought they'd have got it sorted on the mk5.

Hay morty

Interested to know whats the drive like once you've fitted that clutch. I'm considering buying their Stage 2 Endurance clutch, I use my car daily so didnt kno weather to get the daily drive or edurance just incase... Also if you don't mind me asking did you buy direct from southbend or darkside?

Got a smf in my Jetta Tdi and is more noticeably juddery especially from cold but it is stronger so handles the power with no slipping like the dmf.

Which SMF is it Gez? The southbend has been developed to be silent aswell has smooth and strong, but we'll see once its fitted, by the way its supposed to be tones better than the sachs and helix clutches.

It's a Sachs one, doesn't bother me now that I am used to it - it's been fitted over a year, but anyone else that drives it notices it.

When I was speaking to Scott at Darkside he was saying the sachs smf was very noisey compared to the southbend version.

We'll see if the silent in the name lives upto what it says on the tin.

Have been considering an egr delete myself. I thought it retained the asv but lookin at your bits for the bin it doesn't. I got the impression it fitted between the manifold and asv.
