This kit from Valeo is a simple way to easily convert your stock dual mass flywheel clutch system to a single mass system.

Dual mass flywheels allow for fluid-feeling clutch engagements and offer a more luxurious feel than single-mass flywheels. However, with these benefits come significant drawbacks. Why convert from a dual-mass flywheel to a single-mass flywheel?

Cost: Dual-mass flywheels are expensive, with the cost of replacement often times being double or triple than that of converting to a single-mass flywheel.
Serviceability: Single-mass flywheels can be resurfaced, eliminating the need to replace with the next clutch service. - something that is not recommended with dual-mass flywheels, as they contain a rubber section that is more failure-prone in high mileage application.
Simplicity: Single-mass flywheels lack the complexity of dual-mass flywheels, making them inherently more reliable. Dual-mass flywheels contain a rubber damper or hub that will, like all rubber components, wear out with time.
Pedal Feel: Many enthusiasts prefer to eliminate BMW's "Self Adjusting Clutch", which has been known to provide an unpredictable, inconsistent engagement point.
Driveability: Valeo's conversion kit has been designed to maintain nearly identical clutch and flywheel weight, ideal for keeping the clutch quiet and easy to drive.

Ensure your clutch system can get the all of the power to the wheels. Stock clutch components lack the ability to transmit the full torque and horsepower loads to the wheels without suffering from increased wear and eventual clutch fade. Sachs Performance Clutch Kits are designed for sport and race applications, delivering higher torque transmission without succumbing to wear and tear and fading over extended periods of abuse.

Sachs Performance Clutch Kits include the following upgraded components:

• Performance Pressure Plate - Increased clamping force and resistant to wear

• Performance Clutch Disc - Allows for higher clamping force, higher torque transmission, and better clutch engagement at higher RPM’s

• Performance Throwout Bearing - Designed for increased spring pressure and higher RPM function

These kits are available with two different clutch discs, Organic and Metallic. Organic clutch discs are perfect for both performance street and light-moderate track applications. Metallic are designed for specifically for full-time track use such as endurance racing, clubsport, autocross, hill climbing and 1/4 mile racing.
