Identification 6DCT450 - double clutch - torsion damper - 2nd generation only - compare before installation
The components of this kit do NOT fit for a direct repair of clutches of the first generation. There is no exact date when the first generation of clutches was replaced by the second generation. Depending on the vehicle model it seems to have been around 2010/2011. In the first generation of the clutch, different retainers and probably different springs were in use.
We know that factory-rebuilt clutches of the first generation have been upgraded with the new kind of plastic spring brackets, however we believe that additional amendments of other components took place.
Since approx. 2015/2016 the manufacturer is using a welded spring cover for new and factory rebuilt clutches. Thus this spring kit can only be used for earlier clutches. Unless you have the possibility to remove and reweld the spring cover. However, we cannot take over guarantee for the case this spring kit is used in clutches with welded spring cover.
The quantity and kind of springs required may variate with different clutches. Please make sure to use the correct combination of springs. The content of the kit is sufficient only for clutches which use 2 pairs (2x2) of start springs.
These products seem to have a common problem that was ultimately left unresolved by the manufacturer. We can only supply what is offered by the OE or aftermarket suppliers. In some cases, this is not a cure for the problem, just a temporary fix. Therefore we cannot guarantee this item.
