vs
Flywheel VALEO or Sachs
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
Valeo has a single mass flywheel kit that's within factory specs and should be right around $500 usd
Pros: within factory specs
I believe I've found the correct one on amazon (Part # NFW7206) from the Sachs store.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Part number: NFW7206
I got one like this for my 6-speed. Rockauto Valeo single mass FW
While I have a 6 speed, I just replaced the clutch in my car. I went with the single mass flywheel. There is no chatter. The pedal is extremely light and very easy to engage. I had thought about reusing the original flywheel and I'm glad I ordered the single mass because my flywheel had a lot of extra play in it when it was removed and needed to be replaced.
Pros: pedal extremely light, easy engage
Cons: flywheel had extra play
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
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
Just thought Id stop by and update people about this question for any1 potentially considering this option. All I have to say is that unless it's a track car, do not go with any sort of single mass flywheel conversion, especially this one. If it originally had a dmf setup then replace it with a dmf setup. At idle there is an extremely annoying slight rattle/knock unless you press the clutch pedal in (separate trans from engine). It's definitely louder with ac turned on, also when shifting in certain gears at certain speeds,when letting off the clutch pedal, you will experience some grinding due to the inability to absorb the shock and pulses.
Cons: annoying rattle/knock, grinding
