Clutch Products Reviews
 
 
Everyone wins when company's develop innovative products to help their customers. Thinking out of the box  (to coin a phrase), is the difference between being proactionery and reactionary. Valeo Transmission is an innovator and definetely thinks out of the box. They've developed a line of solid flywheels that replace original dual mass flywheels. The solid flywheels are packaged with replacement clutch kits. Because ClutchResource.com is free and doesn't sell anything, we accept clutch suppliers as sponsors on our products review page.

Valeo Transmission  
An Innovative Aftermarket Solution 
 
Valeo Solid Flywheel & Clutch Replacements 
 

More vehicles in the last two decades were produced OE with a dual mass flywheel. Although the DMF has advantages, there are many disadvantages especially to replace in the aftermarket. Those disadvantages include:

  • Should not try to resurface upon failure, therefore, new expensive one is needed

  • Due to high price, many providers in the IAM will not stock it sufficiently leading to installers and end users to go directly to dealerships

  • High failure rate in some applications leading to warranty returns and a high level of customer dissatisfaction

To solve this troubling issue, Valeo has designed and brought Solid Flywheel Conversion Kits to the market. Now, with one of these kits, a failed DMF setup can be completely replaced. The key advantages include:

  • Cost savings of about 30% - 50%

  • Greater durability – no wear components in simpler solid flywheel (dual mass is complex with many parts that can cause failure)

  • Comparable performance

  • High level of customer satisfaction
