Flywheel Luk or VALEO
Luk is a solid brand. You can get a brand new Luk flywheel for $68 which is only a few bucks more than having your oem one turned. Probably worth it to have a nice clean perfect surface to mate the clutch to.
Pros: solid brand, good value
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
I've read lots of reviews about how the flywheel chatters horribly. I never noticed it on this car, it's very quiet, though I do have OEM mounts. I was surprised to find it wasn't a DMF. Just something to consider
Pros: very quiet, OEM mounts
Cons: flywheel chatters horribly
I bought an OEM Luk flywheel ($500) and OEM Luk clutch ($250) from eBay. And bolts, bushings, and other required bits for like $150. I brought it to my local Euro shop and they did everything for around ~$700, and that included changing the center support bearing, guibo, transmission mounts, shifter bushings, etc. This was on an E92 but I can't imagine an F30 being much different. Also yeah, you should change out the flywheel. Those generally fail before the clutch even does.
Pros: OEM quality, good value
Vehicle:
BMW
LUK invented the flywheel and the self adjusting clutch. Only gripe I had when I bought a LUK flywheel for my E46 despite looking identical to the original one it was 1kg heavier, it also had balancing weights with on whereas the original bmw one didn’t.
Cons: 1kg heavier, added weights
Vehicle:
BMW
Valeo has a single mass flywheel kit that's within factory specs and should be right around $500 usd
Pros: within factory specs
Everything went together without much issue. I used a Luk OEM dual mass flywheel along with the TT-RS disc and pressure plate. Had to drill out the holes for the dowels on the pressure plate just a bit but other than that, no surprises.
Pros: went together without issue
Cons: had to drill holes
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I got one like this for my 6-speed. Rockauto Valeo single mass FW
I have this flywheel, there is no chatter when driving the car for only 30min but when taking a long trip and everything heats up it does chatter unfortunately...
Pros: no chatter short trips
Cons: chatter on long trips
I got a Valeo flywheel. but it didn't fit.
Cons: did not fit
Put a clutch in a Jeep Wrangler. Luk kit and Luk flywheel from local Napa. Get it running, was setting misfire codes on 2 companion cylinders. Scoped it and had a bunch of noise on the crank sensor that matched where the ignition for the two missing cylinders triggered.
Cons: misfire codes, noise
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
