There seem to be more scare stories about DMF to SMF conversions. VAG engine that broke a crank and gearbox damage etc. If there is a valeo smf conversion it will be fine IMO. From Mondeo mk3 2l diesel tuning experience dmf don't like more torque especially if they are a bit older. DMf require a different driving style imo. The DMF ran better when driven at speed for a long period of time, then came back to town driving the DMF got rattly.
Is the saab rear suspension bushes the reason that they get replaced as a whole unit?

Some gearboxes /drivelines can take it and its only gonna mildy yank between gears and idle a bit more agriculturally, others cannot take it and it will accelerate the wear in your driveline above what it would with the correct DMF in it.
Get a DMF if you can afford it, get quality, LUK etc
My car they use a DMF but they dismember themselves with only a little over stock torque, mines quite a bit more and hoping for even more this year, so SMF or a DMF from an old audi v8 are the only options (£££)
