RTS Performance SMF Clutch Kit with Single Mass Flywheel for Ford and Volvo 1.5 TDCi and 1.6 TDCi, Heavy Duty Organic, Twin Friction and 5 Paddle Options
Upgrade your Ford or Volvo diesel with the RTS Performance Single Mass Flywheel clutch kit, the proven uprated clutch solution for 1.5 TDCi and 1.6 TDCi applications. This SMF conversion is engineered for everyday driving, fast road and track use, delivering higher torque capacity with OE-like pedal effort and excellent drivability. We have supplied and fitted RTS SMF kits for these platforms and customer feedback has been consistently strong for bite, modulation and durability.
Why choose RTS Twin Friction and SMF technology
- Unique Twin Friction drive plate with aramid friction on the flywheel side and a segmented pressure plate face for strong bite and smooth engagement.
- Aramid friction shows up to 50 percent less wear compared to conventional materials, helping the clutch last longer under spirited use.
- Reduced fade as temperatures rise, maintaining torque transmission under hard driving.
- Micro-structure spheroidal casting and ER2 technology improve heat dissipation, allowing the clutch to run cooler for longer.
- Higher clamp load design transmits significantly more torque than the standard clutch while retaining user-friendly pedal feel.
