Clutch

(1/3) > >>

Guy90:
I'm changing the clutch on my 90 2.5 N/A :x . Which side of the friction plate faces the flywheel? Is it the side where the centre bit protrudes more? When I've offered it up from that side it leaves the friction disc proud of the flywheel which doesn't seem right :?  :? . Or have craddocks sold me the wrong one :evil: ?

Paul:
Most clutch plates are marked "Flywheel Side"

Have you checked the plate..?

muddyweb:
'Flywheel Side' should be stamped on the metal in the centre of the friction plate.

The longer protrusion normally faces the gearbox.

Guy90:
I was expecting to see flywheel side printed on it but it isn't! If the side that protrudes more is the side facing the flywheel then how do the clutch and flywheel engage each other as fitting it that way leaves the clutch plate sitting very proud of the flywheel!

Erm.. it doesn't... it faces the gearbox.
