Been a bit since the last time I did a clutch IN a car. I seem to recall hearing of doing one w/out taking the trans out. I'd rather not have to do that, as removing the exhaust, turbo bits, and trans adds a lot more work. Ant thoughts or hints/tips? Its just me in the garage today, so hopefully I can get this done for the weekend.

THat is VERY unusual.
Perhaps one side of the diaphragm has cracked/broken causing the uneven pressure across the wear surface. I've never seen one like that, but it has to fail somehow. As for the 1/4" deeper hub on the disk. Not sure it should matter but I don't know which is original length, the current (and the other is 1/4" shorter) or the other way around. Get a measurement and we could tell you which is stock length. Eitherway, mostly likely you'd be fine as there is a fair amount of room in there. You just wouldn't want the splines ending and the disk being pushed backward by the input shaft toward the pressure plate. Interesting failure, thanks for sharing. |
