1) DMF (OEM) + Sachs performance pressure plate and disc
2) SMF clutch from Sachs racing
I had 1) in my car until about 6 months ago and replaced it with 2) because the oem DMF got destroyed in 10.000km (the Sachs pressure plate and disc were in perfect condition though). 2) holds torque perfectly, engagement is very precise and engine brake is a wonder compared to 1) but unfortunately it won't let me change gears fast so I removed 2) after only 2000km and sent it to Sachs for expertise. In the meantime I put back in numebr 1) with a new OEM flywheel . Hope I've made myself clear this time :)

Hi Fuscobal,
Could you please inform me as to the results with Sachs and their SMF??
I'm in the middle of ordering their 5002 clutch and pressure plate and planned on ordering the SMF too.
Do you have the spare part number for the SMF?? :happy2:

He is still waiting for a response from Sachs, so unfortunately there's no info yet.

Well just rang the sachs help line and been told the SMF is the problem and he said you should stick with the DMF... but then went on to say that if you car is running more power than standard expect to be replacing the DMF quite often :confused:

I know, bloody great news!!
From what he was saying the car comes with a DMF and thats what should be fitted and if you change to a SMF then expect to have problems!
I ask why they sell the SMF then and he said sachs dont make the SMF for cars with a DMF so it must be from another type of car that come with a SMF!
I'm very confused with the whole matter :confused:
If anyone else can shed some light on this it would be good!
Plus is there anyone who has fitted the SMF without any problems?
