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

Valeo Transmission
An Innovative Aftermarket
Solution
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
