Why a Single Mass Flywheel Conversion Kit?

If you own a Ford Transit, chances are that you are dealing with a dual mass flywheel system.

What’s that you ask!?
We’ll have to get a bit techy for you, but essentially a dual mass clutch is made up of two rotating masses that have a set of springs inserted between them. The springs are sized to soak up some of the engine pulsing that diesel engines typically experience when they are under load or running at low RPM’s (we’re talking to you commercial drivers).
What this means is that the flywheel is hollow, and the rear mass is often very thin, which makes absorbing heat difficult. This ability to heat up quickly makes them more prone to warping and rapid overheating of the clutch disc.

Running at high revs, carrying heavy loads, or pushing your vehicle beyond the manufacturer recommendations will most likely see premature failure of your dual mass fly wheel.

The replacement of a dual mass flywheel with a single mass flywheel, means that you get a single, heavy metal flywheel, rather than two thinner pieces.

 

A single flywheel is capable of absorbing more heat, which protect your clutch from overheating.

The other benefit to a single mass flywheel is that it can machined down the track, rather than replaced, saving you having the cost of having to replace your clutch again.
