R11CH Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Mines currently at Bmw having a new clutch fitted. Dmf is good to go again even with 146k on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dmf can break if too much power/torque is put though it, so people swap to a smf but this causes a bit of noise and vibrations in drive train, it's like putting solid engine mounts in great for loads of power on a race track but while sitting at a set of traffic lights not so enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother made this mistake a year ago.. Got a new clutch fitted and the DMF was "ok".. A year later and the clutch and DMF are being changed.. Not worth the risk IMO.

TriggerFish Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 My old clutch and dmf lasted to around 200k miles. The replacement dmf does in 6 months. Funny how things work out I'd stick with dmf though, if it were my car. I'd guess that the fact you need to ask means you're not in a position (lots of power/track use) where it's going to be of benefit to change to smf (not meant in an unpleasant way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said I didnt need It once they got It apart. Got mine back today and what a difference! New clutch Is super smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig_09 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 With my 320cd I bought a LUK dual mass and Clutch. On Eurocarparts the flywheel was £244 and clutch £157 minus the 15% discount with code Extra15 =£342.52 Plus £150 labour so not bad at all!
