4 Why Conversion kit
- KIT4P?
Today’s modern engines produce higher torques and
can be driven at low engine speeds. The resulting
higher maximum engine torque to be transmitted
leads to increased vibration and noise. One of the key
reasons why diesel cars and light commercial vehi-
cles have become much quieter over recent years
and less prone to rattling is the development of the
Dual Mass Flywheel (D.M.F.) technology.

5 KIT4P composition
KIT4P is composed of a rigid flywheel with no wear
and a high-performance clutch kit.
The rigid flywheel has its key timing slots machined
and aligned correctly, which means that there is no risk
of poor starting and running once fitted.
The clutch kit within a KIT4P contains a long travel
damper clutch disc which incorporates a high-tech
pre-damper multi-cassette and “long-travel” dampers.
The specific KIT4P composition can vary depending on
clutch actuation.

technology
The D.M.F. is designed to increase the mass
moment of inertia of the transmission without
increasing the mass to be shifted (flywheel
weight) or, in other words, to equalize the iner-
tia between gearbox and flywheel.

Long Travel Damper (L.T.D.)
The L.T.D. technology consists of a specific friction Current Valeo O.E. Long Travel Damper techno-
plate with a high damper capacity and a damper logy can be found in three product categories;
with very low stiffness for improved filtration SX, WX and High Angular Displacement Techno-
and transmission performance. This low angular logy (NX1…NX4). The design depends on the
stiffness coupled with the specifically matched maximum torque of the vehicle engine and on
flywheel inertia ensures the appropriate damping the diameter of the clutch. A majority of the
level as well as an extended life of the clutch kit. KIT4P range features a WX damper. On certain
applications such as Ford Transit, an SX damper
is used. The H.A.D. technology is used only in
O.E. currently. This will enable Valeo to develop
further KIT4P versions for vehicles with higher
torques on the I.A.M.

Main advantages
KIT4P provides savings during the first clutch
replacement as it uses a rigid flywheel. Fur-
thermore, the rigid flywheel is very durable and
does not need to be replaced. When the second
clutch replacement is due, only the clutch kit
itself needs to be replaced, not the flywheel.
This enables cost savings for all future clutch
replacements.
