Manual-gearbox Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class and GLC diesels are factory-fitted with a dual-mass flywheel. The correct repair is a Sachs (ZF) Kit + DMF, LuK RepSet DMF or Valeo Kit4P — supplied with the matched concentric slave cylinder. Mercedes moved from the OM651 to the OM654 engine around 2018, and the two use different DMF and clutch disc designs. Please confirm year and engine code on WhatsApp so we ship the correct kit.

Exact contents depend on the engine and the kit part number. Below covers a standard 3-piece kit, a 3-in-1 (with CSC) kit and a complete Kit + Dual-Mass Flywheel (DMF) bundle.
Carries the friction lining that transmits engine torque to the gearbox input shaft.
Spring-loaded assembly that clamps the disc against the flywheel. SAC (self-adjusting) on modern cars.
Pushes against the pressure-plate diaphragm to disengage drive when the pedal is pressed.
Hydraulic release unit inside the bellhousing on most modern cars — supplied in 3-in-1 kits when fitted.
Supports the gearbox input shaft inside the crankshaft. Always replaced with the disc.
On cars factory-fitted with a DMF (most modern diesels, premium petrols), the flywheel is replaced together to prevent rattle and judder.
Plastic mandrel used to centre the disc on the pressure plate during fitting.
Single-use stretch bolts for the pressure plate and flywheel where OE specifies.
A standard clutch kit replaces the disc, pressure plate and release bearing (plus the CSC on hydraulic systems). A DMF kit adds the dual-mass flywheel — required on most modern diesels and premium petrol cars. Replace what the factory fitted; do not "convert" a DMF car to single-mass.
Indicative coverage. Final part number — and whether the OE design is single-mass or DMF — is always confirmed against your VIN before despatch.

Catching these early prevents damage to the flywheel friction surface, gearbox bellhousing and crankshaft thrust face.
Engine revs rise but speed does not — common when towing or in higher gears uphill.
Pedal engages near the top of its travel — friction lining is worn close to the rivets.
Vibration as the clutch bites. Often a tired DMF or oil-contaminated disc.
Hard to engage 1st or reverse — release system not fully disengaging (CSC, master cylinder or worn release bearing).
Diaphragm fingers worn, or release bearing failing.
Classic dual-mass flywheel wear — secondary mass plays in the springs.
Friction material overheating, often from slipping or riding the clutch.
CSC or clutch master cylinder has lost hydraulic pressure — kit + CSC replacement required.
Every kit verified against your chassis number — including single-mass vs DMF.
LuK, Sachs, Valeo, Exedy, Borg & Beck, FTE — no unknown labels.
