9-3SS 2.8 V6 06′-10′ (Not XWD) – Single Mass Conversion Kit (Stage 3 RACE)

Description

Black Diamond Single Mass Flywheel Conversion Kit – Fast Road Organic Clutch (Stage 3, +30% to 60%)

To Fit: Saab 9-3 Sports 2.8 V6 – all front wheel drive models 2006 to 2010 – Front Wheel Drive models only (FWD) Not suitable for XWD (all 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 3 clutch kit is recommended for increases in torque of between 30% and 60%. We use a cerametallic friction material, allowing it to be able to cope with extremely high heat and torque. These paddle clutches are an excellent option for track use, heavily modified engines and chipped or mapped diesels where the torque increases exponentially. Black Diamond’s Stage 3 clutch kit, with its very high clamp load and stainless steel backing plates ensures that maximum torque is transmitted from the engine to the wheels on the ground with minimum risk of overheating or slipping. Our stage 3 paddle clutch retains the driveability required in normal road use, although some changes to driving style are required (more revs to pull away). We can make your paddle clutch with 4, 5 or 6 paddles depending on the diameter of the drive plate.

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.
