P2 dmf and clutch query.

**Kingsford G** · Friday 27th December 2013, 19:49

As far as I know DMF and clutches are not cheap on P2 2.4t5 so the query is what power/torque is the standard one good for and has anyone done a SF convertion or is it not a good idea?

they definintly arnt cheap. a standard clutch and dmf should handle 340 bhp no probs. but ifs it coming to the end of its lift then its not going to last long and will probobly start slipping. id never fit a smf. transmission rattle is terrible and it puts extra strain on your engine gearbox and shafts.

Why would a smf put strain on your engine and box, the 850's and P1's manage ok with them.

Plus isn't it a recommended change when you go for higher HP??

You can't buy a smf clutch for a p2

So Use P1 parts. I have a P2 engine in my 850 with an 850r clutch in it.

are you keeping this one then?

**dant5r** · Friday 27th December 2013, 20:22

850 & P1 friction plate is different to a P2 friction plate

You can't tell me that there is no way to mix and match, worst scenario is you would have to get a custom friction plate which would still be a lot cheaper than a new dmf

kit.

Edit: it would seem that pre 2003 P2's use the same number of splines as the 850r

the dmf absorbs the torque. its a personal choice but id never have a smf. ive drove cars that have had a smf fitted and they arnt nice. why take a nice refined car and make it harsh and rough with a smf. its a step backwards in my eyes. but thats my opinion. matt on here fitted a dmf to his t5 and hated it. most decent tuners also dont recomend them

**claymore** · Friday 27th December 2013, 20:34

having driven many dmf and smf cars I can honestly say that i have noticed no difference at all, and when I changed my Mondeo from dmf to smf I saw no difference in the way the car drove at all.

If I find the same car with less miles I`ll go for it but V70 2.4t5 is what I want.

There's a smf available for the P2. I only went with another dmf as I found a new LUK one for 379 quid.

Gentle reminder, I have a P2 DMF and a used but very good condition and serviceable life clutch if you need one.
