Fluidamper

[Golf R 375-350]

SMF clutches just REALLY hate low RPM peak torque, there's no solving that other that using a DMF setup. The Fluidampr did nothing to alleviate clutch rattle feel or noise from my SBC III, but it's insurance against crank walk I suppose.

So, do you have a SMF clutch installed and have the low RPM mild vibration/rumble? If yes, is it a South Bend clutch?

I do, and I have the rumble you speak of

Ditto to peeps above. You gotta live with it if you want to put power down

Meh it tickles my rectum so I'm not too bothered with it.
Besides, my last two cars were far louder than the Golf R. As long as I know that these noises don't mean that something bad is happening to the car, I'm fine.

Tickles your rectum? Is that a Canadian thing?

Fluidampr makes no claims that have anything to do with clutches. Don't get one for any clutch problems. Fluidampr is all about engine harmonics.

True but it reduces torsional vibration which in turn reduces chatter some.
