I have a 228mm for mine and the Chalon ran the Kevlar 228mm so it will fit.

Did you use a centering tool for the disc when you tightened up the pressure plate? (I sure hope so)
Tried putting trans in gear and turning the output flanges to turn the input shaft? |

make sure you use a clutch allignment tool and some times you have to turn the tranny a little when you slide it in.

Are the splines the same? I am not sure off hand if the 915 and 911/901 trannies have the same splines. 225 is a fine size as far as that dimention.

Andy, check your personal e-mail.....If you did not use a centering tool, it will never slide in. The parts you have are not 915, only the box is......
915 input shaft is significantly larger and a 901 shaft would drop right through a 915 disk. The parts are correct, the alignment is off....... |

The 915 alignment tool is larger in diameter than the 901 tool, so I don't think that is it. It almost sounds like the input shaft isn't wanting to slide into the pilot bearing....... |

Did you use a centering tool for the disc when you tightened up the pressure plate? (I sure hope so) Tried putting trans in gear and turning the output flanges to turn the input shaft? yes and yes. used the tool, turned BOTH shafts about 50 times, used a flashlight to make sure the input shaft was actually turning ... got it in, took only another 30 minutes of brute force. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) i sure hope this is going to work ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy |
