| Re: Uprated Clutch for Fabia vRS Why would you want to stick with the DMF? If you get a SMF, it's indestructable, allows faster revving, has the effect of dropping about 50-75kg off the car. On the downside it gives a small amount of chatter in neutral with the clutch pedal out. Most people who emphatically point out the chatter as a negative have never heard it, let alone experienced it. It's not bad at all in my humble opinion unless you wait a lot with the engine running in neutral with the clutch out... Imagine you replace the clutch now and then later on the DMF decides to go on you - in labour alone it'd be a killer.... My 2p worth matey (only my opinion....) Cheers Bas

| Re: Uprated Clutch for Fabia vRS Hi Chris I would reccomend you look in to this This is an Awesome section and people cannot come on here and tell you where to get a cheap clutch The prices on here are for the Sachs one You will not get cheaper for an uprated clutch Do a search on clutches and DMF`s and SMF`s There has been many many posts on this and before long you will become an expert Sarah |
