Troubleshooting: Singlemass Flywheel Kits
Single-Mass Flywheel Kits Fitment Instructions
As installation of Single-Mass Flywheel Replacement Kits may require specialist tools we will assume that you are a professional brake and clutch specialist and as such know how to install these units.
If you are a do-it-yourselfer or inexperienced in mechanical work we stress that you have the brake and clutch parts fitted by qualified installers only. This will ensure that the supplied items give many years of great service and severely lower the chances of incorrect fitment and premature failure.
WARNING: Brake and clutch items are safety critical items, as a result we recommend installation of LMB OE replacement parts to be done by professional installers and/or workshops only.
Failure to fit these items correctly can cause major damage to the parts in question and other parts of the transmission.
READ THIS FIRST
LMB Single-Mass Flywheel Kits are matched replacements for OEM dual-mass kits that are cheaper to purchase, are usually more durable and can be serviced down the line like regular OEM solid flywheel kits.
However, the kit will look very different to the kit that comes out of the car so please do not worry if this is the case.
The kits are supplied according to ENGINE NUMBERS ONLY, not according to engine type (For instance the VW 1.9 TDI kits are all for 1.9 TDI’s, but the ASZ replacement kit WILL NOT fit a BXE engine and vice-versa). Please ensure that the customer supplies the correct engine number, otherwise the kit might not fit and will lead to premature failure.
