Anybody use them? I need to throw a clutch kit in the new/old Corolla, got some slippage-any body have luck with them?
OE dual mass flywheel clutches are notorious for early and sometimes catastrophic failures and expensive. This better mouse trap has been redesigned more times than I have had hot dinners yet they still come apart internally. When replaced with a regular clutch and flywheel it is the end of the problem.Does anyone make a bad clutch?
And on some of them if you install a SMF flywheel you'll destroy the transmission.OE dual mass flywheel clutches are notorious for early and sometimes catastrophic failures and expensive.

Some Porsche and BMW cars use these and when tuned can have dramatic fails, a dual disc is a permanent albeit pricey repair until the disc wears out.
I have seen more DMF damage transmissions than SMF when they come apart. Doing a conversion may be an easy off the shelf job like many VW or possibly a pricy job like a M car or Porsche that requires a balanced flywheel plate and disc assy.And on some of them if you install a SMF flywheel you'll destroy the transmission.
