Valeo SMF if you’re sticking with NA power. It’s a little noisier but much better feel than a DMF, and much cheaper also.
Pros: better feel than DMF
Cons: a little noisier
Owned an 06 Rabbit, 2.5, auto, for 8 years. 90k to 230k, and wouldn\u2019t hesitate to own another. Dual mass flywheels, vac pump leaks (autos), and valve bodies are the Achilles, otherwise these are solid.
Pros: solid, reliable
Cons: vac pump leaks
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I used an OEM LUK flywheel and upgraded to a 4-puck Sachs clutch.
Ahojte, riešim výmenu zotrvačníka na škoda superb 2017 a zaujimalo by ma, či niekto máte skúsenosť s dielami, ktoré sú z prvovýroby od značky Luk.

Gearbox is a major step up in almost all metrics; no jerkyness when launching from 1st gear a lot smoother idle, less noise, vibrations. I have a lightweight SMF, probably with DMF it will be even less long gears, feels super nice on the highway the car is super quiet, feel like its 500-1000 rpm less while cruising. didnt check mpg yet though acceleration is butter smooth, especially pulling 4th gear, big wow feels like you're taking of with a private jet Some downsides clutch pedal is stiff cable shifting isnt as smooth as with the 020
Pros: smoother idle, less noise
Cons: clutch pedal is stiff
Eventually i'll move to a Super Miata organic or the FM Happymeal, but the Exedy does the job, and the price cant be beat tbh
Pros: price cant be beat
Part number: 10036
Do you know if valeo flywheel is a good and reliable flywheel? Can you share with me your experience if you had the same issue ?

Cons: noise when stopped

I bought a flywheel LUK off rockauto. It missed the qc also, one bolt hole lined up perfectly; out of 6.
Cons: missed QC, bolt holes misaligned
The flywheel is stupid light, so it spins up incredible quick but also slows down the same, making rev matching and heel toe much more likely to go past red line and bend valves not to mention a very uncivilized engagement if not nearly perfect.
Pros: spins up quick
Cons: stupid light, uncivilized engagement, easy to over-rev
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
