Description of ๐Ÿš— Valeo 52151203 Solid Flywheel Conversion Kit: Enhanced Performance and Durability for Your Vehicle

Provides a high performing and efficient solution for replacing the dual mass flywheel (DMF), this innovative solution replaces the DMF with a solid flywheel and places the long travel damper into the clutch disc. Premium Friction Material for Increased Durability: Valeo's enhanced F510 friction material is composed of an organic compound and higher copper content providing better heat dissipation and preventing premature failure. Consistent Driver Comfort: The long travel damper technology consists of a specific friction plate with a higher damper capacity for improved filtration of noise, vibration and harshness maintaining the comfort of the original clutch. Maximum Torque Transfer: Due to the flywheel's solid composition, combined with the increased clamp load of the Clutch Cover (Pressure Plate), this kit is able to increase torque transfer efficiency. Simple Bolt-on Installation: No special tools or pre-loading required. G5 clutch facings.

Excellent clutch. the best in clutches and parts

8 months of use and it's holding up like a champ. I drive about 2500-3000 miles a month, half of it on the freeway and the other half in a hilly town. I don't feel any wear and it works great. 2004 Mini Cooper C. Warning: I had it installed at a shop. I can't say anything about the facility.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

I wish Valeo would have spent a little more packaging their clutch kits

Clutch is great, just wish Valeo would package it for shipping. A minimum of material so that the coupling parts do not damage each other. My centering tool was badly chewed, the bolt pack torn open which allowed the bolts to scratch the flywheel.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Can't remember

Very poor packaging for a great product.

Great kit but very poorly packaged. This kit is packaged so poorly that you can almost guarantee something will be damaged. In the first batch, the B/O bearing and guide tool were broken. 2nd batch of damaged clutch disc and guide tool. Caused a week delay in recovery and a lot of frustration. I will not buy this set again.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Will write later

Product Rating: Complete clutch kits

Everything works very well. I was afraid something might be damaged when I saw the box that was delivered. The packaging is very poor and I can bet the parts were damaged for others. Luckily my parts were fine with a few small scratches. The clutch works perfectly and is very smooth. I have a 2004 Mini S and went to 60 in second gear.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Cleanliness

Excellent grip Poor factory packaging

Clutch like new. A bit grippy, but the Charmin pedal is soft. Like almost everyone else, I don't like the Valeo packaging. The release bearing arrived defective. I liked that it came with all new screws and spline grease. The Revain packaging was great. A Valeo box is placed in a Revain box. PITA when the goods arrived was broken. Valeo needs to pack them better.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Update available

Packaging not very good

I was very happy to get a new clutch and flywheel. USPS left it on my doorstep. Like many others here, the Valeo packaging is annoying for shipping. Of course, the internals are heavier and it pierces the box in multiple places. I was also missing hardware as the box was damaged. the rest of the parts looked fine. Valeo should have looked at foam inserts or expanding foam to hold the pieces in place. I made a claim with Valeo so I hope they send me the gear quickly. It was planned to install in

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Great kit! The best in complete clutch kits

DIY jobs aren't for the faint of heart, but they're not that difficult either. There is a guy on YouTube who put together a very detailed 2 part DIY video that was very helpful. it comes out under the "Mod mini" channel. I did my three days and did it on my own. This kit is excellent and I am very happy with how the clutch works! My items arrived neatly packaged and they were correct. No clutch alignment tool is needed as my mini and most of them don't have a "pilot hole" so I don't know whyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice job
Cons
  • -

The grip is good, the alignment tool and packaging are poor.

I am very happy with the performance of this kit even though it has only been a few days. My main complaint is the same as several others. I understand it's a large, heavy piece of metal, but the box was badly dented when I received it. The other really big complaint I have is that the wrong clutch alignment tool was sent in the kit. The splines on the tool were completely different from the clutch/gearbox rendering the tool unusable. Luckily the Mini Cooper doesn't have a pilot bearing, so Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Great clutch replacement just getting more affordable

I've installed it on my car and helped install it on several other MINI Coopers and everyone loves it! Light pedal feel, smooth engagement and no more Double Max Chewbacca flywheels. lighter than series. The car remains very manageable but feels a bit more maneuverable. Problem-free installation in vehicles up to 250 hp. I had no issues with the packaging or missing/defective parts. This is a great replacement for the factory set. Nobody paid me to write this, I just think it's a greatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad but...
