Black Diamond Single Mass Flywheel Conversion Kit - Fast Road Organic Clutch (Stage 1, +20%)

To Fit: Saab 9-3 Sports 2.8 V6 - all Turbo X models 2008 to 2010 - All Wheel Drive models only (XWD) Not suitable for FWD (front wheel drive) models

New Performance Single Mass Flywheel Conversion Kit to partner Black Diamond's very successful performance clutch range. We are seeing an ever-increasing demand for the ability to replace dual mass flywheels (DMF's) with single mass flywheels (SMF's).

With the change from a DMF to SMF the damping is transferred back to the driven plate, so all conversion kits are supplied with sprung drive plates.

Benefiting from Black Diamonds years of experience in brake technology the pressure plate surface is machined with grooves in it, helping to dissipate the heat generated, as well as remove the dust and gases created.

The Stage 1 clutch kit is recommended for vehicles with up to a 20% increase in torque above standard. The clutch disc has a spiral woven glass fibre friction material with a heavy copper core. The glass fibre is a fairly soft material which allows for a smooth engagement of the clutch and consistent performance from low to high temperatures. The added copper in this friction material allows the clutch to perform well at even higher temperatures, as well as improving burst strength (approximately 9000 RPM) and helping to dissipate heat through the material. The strong springs used in Black Diamond’s Stage 1 clutch kit create greater clamping pressure on the clutch disc, providing a more instant response and reducing the chance of unwanted slippage. As the organic compound used in the Stage 1 clutch disc is relatively soft, it also benefits from a minimal breaking in period.

The Solid Mass Flywheel is made from Billet Steel EN24T and with no moving parts will far outlast the original dual mass flywheel. 

Advantages of Converting from DMF to SMF

• SMF's are more suited to conditions where frequent changes of engine speed and gear changes are made.
• Additional torque caused by tuning an engine, or heavy competition use, can destroy a DMF.
• Allows for faster gear changes for race situations.
• Precision engineered and balanced.
• SMF's have no moving parts so will long outlast the DMF's they replace.
• These kits can be a much cheaper option than replacing with standard DMF and clutch.
• No need to replace the whole system going forward, we offer a full range of service kits meaning that only the clutch will need replacement, not the whole system. Also the SMF kit is fully able to be upgraded through the different Black Diamond stages without the need to replace the flywheel.
• The SMFP kit is usually significantly lighter than the OEM DMF & clutch.
• SMFP kits are direct replacements for OEM DMF's/clutches, no other parts needed.

Disadvantages? Yes, there are some.  The SMFP is a performance product which may cause additional wear to the rest of the drivetrain and gearbox, due to removal of the vibration damping properties of the DMF. You may also notice an increase in transmission noise which a DMF can hide, and an increase in vibrations. These are normal and do not affect the performance of the kit.

Please note: These kits are produced to order, please allow around 1 week prior to despatch for manufacturing; for that reason they are non returnable. 

The kit does not include the release bearing / slave cylinder, we strongly recommend replacing this when fitting the kit. This can be found on our website here.
