FPT C635 DDCT FAULTS
Issues that we have currently seen at Eco Torque are clutch failure and shimming irregularities.
Dry clutch systems by design, will require the clutch pack to be replaced at some point within its lifespan. However we do see a shorter clutch service life on some vehicles compared to others.
Shimming issues from factory are also another issue we have come across. Incorrect shimming of the bearings can drastically reduce the lifespan of the gearbox.
