Sachs clutch

Featured Replies

Just wondering if anybody can provide me with some information really, and also any pics will be most helpful also.

I'm potentially looking at reproducing my own SMF at work using a SACHS race engineering uprated organic clutch plate and pressure plate, but I was after some info of the mounting holes on the Sachs pressure plate, are they in the same location and PCD of a STD pressure plate or different.

If anybody has any close up pics of the front and back of the flywheel also this will be most helpful for my designing of the flywheel.

This is my sachs dmf I took off if that's any good to you?

New stuff fitted if that's any help

I seem to remember that Ali at Unit 18 quoted me for a Sachs unit 18 for mine at a reasonable cost, and fitted same. (at warp factor 10).

Thanks for the pics, just wondering if anyone has pics of there SMF setup to compare the two items?

Just another question, does anybody know the weight of the SACHS single mass flywheel, or any other particular flywheel for that matter. 
I know my full DMF setup weighed just under 13kg

Sachs race fly was 7.2kg.

Cheers for those pics Josh, been struggling to find any others of the backside anywhere else. Was the 7.2kg the flywheel on its own?

Yes mate, sorry no pics of the back for you :(

These pics are a year old, Fabia is long gone!

You dmf setup seems quite light! I'm sure my old dmf alone was 13kg. 7.2was just the flywheel, but with the SMF and pressure plate/friction plate felt to weigh less than the dmf alone.

I'd be careful going any lighter, there must be a reason Sachs didn't!

It did seem rather light when I put it on the scales, it certainly felt a lot heavier so unless the scales were wrong.
From other flywheels available on the market, they are ranging from 7.2kg for the SACHS, a TTV Flywheel is 9kg, unsure about the one from Competition Clutches and Helix, and the Darkside's own is around 10kg
