I'm running a Sachs with an RSR kit and it's been flawless for many years and miles.
Pros: flawless for years
I have Sachs SRE765 with light billet flywheel. With that you dont have to worry about anything even if decided to boost your car. And its very driveable as a daily toi
Pros: very driveable, reliable
Part number: SRE765
That is extremely high! The labor time is 9.2 hours. Bolts from the dealerships are always out of line. You can purchase a dual mass flywheel kit for $1100, if that what the factory one is. Sachs makes some clutch kits with a flywheel that sells for $750 online.
Pros: flywheel kit available online
Cons: bolts from dealerships expensive
I believe I've found the correct one on amazon (Part # NFW7206) from the Sachs store.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Part number: NFW7206
Only manage 150 miles so far, but the vast majority has been surface streets with lots of stop and go. Pedal effort has gone down as expected. It also feels more linear, whereas it was initially both heavy and progressive. The biggest difference I\u2019m noticing is the lack of inertia from the SMF. The chatter and gear lash has gotten louder, surprisingly.
Pros: pedal effort has gone down, feels more linear
Cons: chatter and gear lash louder
Mileage: 241 km
I personally dont like the single mass ones they tend to have clatter the dual mass is smoother and is what came from the factory.
Pros: smoother than single mass
Cons: tend to have clatter
As for noise, stock! actually since the flywheel is brand slpankin new it is quieter than stock. Absolutely no chatter and no gear noise.
Pros: quieter than stock, no chatter
i have 300 miles on the Sachs SMF set up and i couldn't be more pleased. i hear no noise at idle, and very little noise on decel. you'd probably never notice it if no one told you about it. this is definitely the quietest SMF set up out there and you don't have to keep wondering how long your DMF is going to hold up.
Pros: couldn't be more pleased, very little noise
Mileage: 482 km
You can buy a brand new Sachs flywheel from rockauto.com for $50. I recommend a Genuine Sachs Cultch Superset (Sachs factory packaged clutch set).
Pros: factory packaged clutch set
