Passenger Car clutch and flywheel kit Valeo KIT4P™ conversion kit
Looking to replace a dual mass flywheel (DMF) clutch in your vehicle? The Valeo KIT4P conversion clutch kit offers a high-performance aftermarket alternative to the DMF, replacing the clutch and flywheel while matching DMF performance over its lifetime. This Valeo aftermarket innovation celebrates over 20 years of success.
Design
The KIT4P design is composed of a rigid flywheel with no wearable parts. In order to provide the same clutch function, maximum engine torque transfer and full gearbox protection, the Valeo KIT4P contains a clutch kit using Valeo’s long travel damper technology, which Valeo widely uses as original equipment. The Valeo KIT4P rigid flywheel and clutch kit is designed to handle high engine torque common on modern vehicles and provide 100% torque transfer in all drive conditions, improving safety. The kit’s design filters engine vibrations to protect the engine and clutch while also improving driver comfort and driving pleasure. Valeo validates the efficiency of each kit during benchmark tests and vehicle trials.
