If you’re seeking an off-road companion that combines power, durability, and a legacy of exploration, then look no further than the Holden Jackaroo U8 with the 3.0L 4JX1T engine. It’s a machine built to conquer any terrain and forge memories that will last a lifetime.
The cornerstone of the Jackaroo’s success lies in its robust design. Built upon a separate chassis, this SUV tackles diverse terrains with unwavering confidence. This inherent strength, coupled with its impressive capabilities, has earned the Jackaroo a global reputation for conquering any path. Interestingly, this iconic vehicle has been recognized under various names across the world, including the Isuzu Trooper, Chevrolet Trooper, Honda Horizon/Acura SLX, Isuzu Big Horn, and Opel/Vauxhall Monterey. This widespread adoption serves as a testament to its enduring appeal and undeniable functionality.
The enduring popularity of its engine extends beyond its factory prowess. A thriving aftermarket community caters to enthusiasts seeking to elevate their off-road experience. Companies like Clutch Industries offer performance-enhancing upgrades like the Clutch Kit with OEM Flywheel , specifically designed to handle the increased torque demands associated with demanding off-road driving.
VDMR1671 is designed to replace the Original Equipment (OE) unit including the OE dual mass replacement flywheel which converts the clutch system to a solid mass flywheel (SMF). Changing from a dual mass flywheel (DMF) to a solid flywheel (SMF) increases the reliability of your clutch system and allows the flywheel to be machined for longer life. However, you might experience slightly more noise or vibration compared to a DMF clutch system. Designed and manufactured to replace the clutch system installed as Original Equipment, a PHC standard replacement clutch kit is the reliable choice. Each component has been thoroughly tested and developed for a specific application. This range provides a Quality Assured replacement part that will meet or exceed the requirements of the original unit. After 16 years of experience in developing and manufacturing clutch kits for OEM and Aftermarket use, PHC is the trusted source for a complete range of Clutch Kits suited to your vehicle.
DMR vs. DMF Flywheels
Dual Mass Flywheel Replacements (DMR) move the damping system from the flywheel to the clutch disc/plate. This returns the flywheel back to a conventional solid mass flywheel and the driveline dampening to the clutch disc.
To effectively dampen driveline noise and vibrations a multi rate (MR) clutch disc is used in DMF conversion kits (DMR). This MR clutch disc uses a torsional damper with separated first and second stage dampers. The dampener is tuned for low torque low angularity dampening as well has high toque, high angularity dampening.
Advantages Over a DMF
Increased ability to handle higher torque
Greater reliability
Better thermal dynamics
Cost efficient: Both on the initial purchase and ongoing with the ability to machine the flywheel
Note: as dual mass replacement/conversion (DMR) clutch kits do not as effectively dampen driveline noise or vibration an increased vibration and noise might be detectable especially at low RPMs. However, this will not damage the vehicle’s driveline.
This clutch kit comes with a parts and labour warranty period of 2 years or 40,000 kilometers (whichever occurs first).
