4Terrain HD clutch and SMF

Did a search on here and couldn't find a lot of info on these. Anyone installed one? Any problems with them or are there better upgrades out there?

I've found a bit on the flywheel increasing vibrations but its seems to vary from car to car. My clutch is on the way out so i want to upgrade it before it goes

G'day Beefy,

I have just installed 4 terrain clutch in my 4.2 turbo diesel patrol wagon. They are brilliant. If you are going to fit one to a D40, piss off the dual mass flywheel and use a solid flywheel and you will not have a problem.



When i had my D40 i got rid off the dual mass flywheel set-up and used a solid flywheel set-up, went to Cape York towing an Jayco off-road camper trailer and did the Telegraph track.

Fitted one to a customers D40, it came apart, the teeth for the crankshaft position sensor is on a ring which is attached by 3 bolts, whilst other manufacturers have the sensor teeth CNC machined into the flywheel. There are better options.

I've heard good things about Extreme Clutches

Thanks for the info. Did you find much of an increase in vibration through the driveline with the solid flywheel or not?

Still to be resolved. Had been in the vehicle 4 months/ 10,000km.

Just like your average manual 3lt D22 or diesel GQ or GU manual Patrols.

Got mine done today, drove only few kms on it so far.
There's no stuffing around compared to the DMF, either straight on or off

There is a spec sheet inside the box that says:

DUAL MASS REPLACEMENT CLUTCH KITS (COMPRISE OF RIGID FLYWHEEL AND MULTIRATE CLUTCH PLATE) ARE NOT AS EFFICIENT AT DAMPENING DRIVELINE NOISES AS THAT OF A DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL KIT.

WHEN INSTALLING A DUAL MASS REPLACEMENT SOME ADDITIONAL NOISE SHOULD BE EXPECTED. THE NOISE IS NOT DETRIMENTAL TO PERFORMANCE OR DURABILITY OF CLUTCH COMPONENTS.

i have one too
One of the best upgrades ive done to the truck, runs alot smoother now
