Does anyone have experience with the kennedy engineering flywheel/clutch packages?They sell a ring that fits over the 225mm fly wheel or a replacment flywheel if you have a 240mm flywheel does anyone have good or bad experiences whith these?I would think the whole new flywheel would be the best choice but they claim the ring is just as good?

The KEP people are awesome but sad to say I'm still debugging my mess.
I'm running the 225mm kep adapter on my stock 3.2 flywheel with a 9" stage 2 pressure plate and disk. I'm using the adapter versus there complete flywheel because I'm using the stock DME injection and I need the sensor ring. GPR and PMS all recommend the stage 2 pressure plate and disk but I think my clutch tube is flexing somewhere. Maybe I have a bad pressure plate with extra stiff springs?? For over 10 years I ran the weltmeister clutch cable with my 2.7 six and a stock 2.0 flywheel with no problems. As soon as I went with the KEP solution the cable started stretching. I switched to a stock 914-6 cable and most of my problems went away but its still stretching a bit. My clutch tube was repaired before I bought the car in 86. Its welded at the rear and two spots along the tunnel. I can't find where it might be flexing. First chance I get I'm going to swap the stage 2 with a stage 1 and see if it helps. If someone has any pointers or experience with this problem I would love to hear about it. Steve |
