Clutch kit Sachs or VALEO

Sachs Clutch kit
Standard-Country8407
  • Slip:
  • Engagement smoothness:
Rating 5.0

Sachs 764 Pressure Plate & Sachs 098 Friction Disc paired with a DMFW is what is colloquially referred to as the Sachs 2.5 "kit". ( it's not an actual "kit" but it's a time honored upgrade for 550+ hp Porsche 996 TT.

I've run stock Sachs also with an unsprung GT2 disc. But my car at 550/575 whp likes this setup ^.

I'm on my 3rd clutch = 17+ years.

Pros: time honored upgrade, handles high HP
Vehicle: Porsche
Part number: 764, 098

Sachs Clutch kit

If your clutch has been slipping for a few months, it seems likely your flywheel may have some hot spots, and needs resurfaced at a minimum, in addition to a new clutch, pilot bushing, and throwout bearing.

VALEO Clutch kit

I would recommend returning the FX250 clutch and getting the Valeo HD clutch kit. It wont rattle like the single mass aftermarket clutches, it holds more power than the stock clutch.

Pros: no rattle, holds more power
Vehicle: Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Sachs Clutch kit

Be aware that the "newer" Sachs kits have been a different manufacturer than FCC which makes the OEM clutch. Newer Sachs kit seems to be an exedy clutch and pressure plate.

Cons: different manufacturer than OEM

Rating 1.0

The Valeo clutch kit is absolute garbage. It will make the car rattle and vibrate like crazy. Get a FX250 Kevlar clutch with a steel single mass flywheel from clutch masters. A lot less noise, lasts a lot longer.

Pros: less noise, lasts longer
Cons: absolute garbage, rattle and vibrate
Vehicle: BMW
