Clutch wount fit

Post by helga592 »

Hi
Just tryed to fit new clutch as the old one was slipping. It wont sit flat aganst the flywheel yes its the wright way round. It is a recon engine with a refaced flywheel. It feals like the bolts holding the flywheel are to long (1.9dg watercooler) Any ideas?

228mm? Make? Sure you've been supplied with the correct clutch?

Yes it is a 228mm clutch. I think the flywheel might have been over engeniered but i dont have that much experenace. I was thinking of takeing 1 or 2 mm of the end of the bolts

And then when the friction plate wears down, you'll be back to square one. Can you take some pics? They must have taken a hell of a lot of metal off flywheel.

If its been machined that far, you might be better off buying this:
