Hi all the clutch on my scooby van has got covered in oil again think its the input seal into the gear box again (havent looked yet!) So need to get a new cluctch kit again, now hears my problem the one thats on it aint that old probs about 15000 mile old so the pressure plate should still be fine after a blooming good clean! so whats sizes of friction plate are out there??? thinking of getting the biggest i can in there!

I would have thought a disel one I think they are 228mm?

The same size as the pressure plate.

Need to take it apart to get the measurement's of what size I have as its a special adapted flywheel to fit to the subaru crankshaft, its then made to fit a uprated vw clutch set up! So I need to know whats sizes are acually available !

Look on GSF site under clutches for T25s - lists all the sizes but think you'll need to drop gearbox and get your tape measure out.

Cheers for that Have to have a look see once its out !

Odds are it's a 228mm James old bean

If your using the same pressure plate you need to fit the same size centre plate otherwise you will have less friction material in contact with the pressure plate.

Not if I fit bigger!

If the bellhousing seal is leaking (and you say again) then the input shaft can be quite in line and wearing it.. its prob also worn the oil thrower thats in the bellhousing too which wont help the seal and this isnt replacable only with a complete new bellhousing..

WBX clutchs are 215 (DF some early and 228mm.. I thought D/TD was only 215 though...
Aircooled 2L CU is same 228mm (1.6 CT is 215)

IIRC type 4 (411/412) had a 210mm clutch so its poss its one of them..

I think it was a cheap seal that i got the last time, so hopefully not worn f it is I have a plan up my sleave!
