Homer Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hopefully a simple one for those in the know... The locators on the pressure plate do not line up exactly with the steel pins on the flywheel. I can get any two pins to fit snugly, but the 3rd is about 0.2-0.4mm out, it's only very slightly out, but the plate can't be pushed onto the flywheel by hand. Is it just a case of using brute force to get it on located on the pins, or is this a problem with the flywheel/pressure plate? The flywheel is 2nd hand but in very good condition.

Paul Whiffin Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Have you tried a little help with a hammer to see if it goes on? They normally just push on the dowels though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thanks Paul, I'll give it a try, just wanted to maker sure it's going to fit before pulling the gearbox out! Edit - Hammer worked! Wasn't being brutal enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Err, I thought this was for a TT with a Getrag box? That clutch is for an N/A flywheel and gearbox..... No wonder it was a "great price" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yes Chris, it's only a 5spd clutch and plate, still wasn't a bad price though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ahh, right, I had visions of you fitting it for use with the Getrag box, sorry. The dowels should line up, The merest tap should have the clutch cover start on the dowels. It needs to be square to the flywheel, not cocked over though.
