Sach clutch fitted but....
danishmkvgti:
my clutch was fitted friday done 800 kilometers since and i still have judder + gearchange is different than before. :sad1:
Friend of mine had same setup fitted 3 days before, he has none of my problems :confused:
john_o:
sorry to hear :confused:
if you both fitted the exact same parts (did you check the part no's of the bits you both fitted) ?, then its time to find the differences.
do you both have the same flywheel (luk or sachs)? maybe your flywheel needs replaced?
what about considering the actuation system (replace fluid,check for bent hoses?)
danishmkvgti:
both cars fitted with sachs SMF, only difference was that his clutchplate had orientationmarks on as to which way it was to be fitted, mine didn't have these orientationmarks :sad1:
So it might be a different batch/factory eventhough they had the same Sachs spare partnumber.

That's the OEM clutch though isn't it Mat? Not the Sachs one that went on Stage 1 Revo?
The problem to me seems to lie with the Sachs SMF, not the clutch. I know of quite a few lads who have the Sachs clutch with a new OEM DMF and they work fine. But I have now heard of 4 cars that have had the Sachs SMF set up and ALL have experienced problems.. This can't be a coincident surely? :confused:
KRL:
From what I understand the weak point on the OEM platform point seems to be the DMF and not the clutch?
If this is the case what is the point in replacing the DMF with another OEM one as surely if will fail again after a short amount of miles?
Does an uprated clutch extend the life of the DMF somehow?
