Helix clutch works as it should, and doesn't seem dissimilar to standard, but clutch weight felt like gym equipment initially! Its gradually loosened up over the last few months to a more tolerable level.
One thing worth considering, the SMF does noticeable improve engine pick-up, but the idle noise is terrible, even after a few months of having it installed, often sounds like a tractor! I'm tempted to return to a dual-mass.

I have been looking at helix clutches and wondering if it would be best to run smf or dmf is the chatter from the smf really that bad?:'(

I guess it depends on your priorities! It can sound pretty loud and nasty at idle, to the point where people have commented on it. If your not bothered by this then by all means go SMF. I was expecting less noise from it tbh, and it seems to randomly fluctuate in volume at times.

I had a Sachs clutch and Flywheel in my last Octavia vRS and never had any issues with it, well apart from the wife complaining it made her leg ache in traffic :grin:

Statller fitted me a Helix clutch and dual mass flywheel as i didnt want the chatter, clutch will hold 354ftlb from what i have read online.
Was stiffer than the standard clutch but nothing ridiculous.
Love it :smiley:
