I am having issues with my new clutch. After tightening to torque (18fp) the pressure plate is still not in contact with the flywheel (aprox. 1mm gap). Is this normal? If not, should I continue to tighten until it bottoms on the flywheel?
When I first installed, it was almost a 1/4" gap at torque, so I put some clamps on it and I got the internals of the pressure plate to move that I now assume were somehow frozen. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  |

Issue resolved with hex head bolts (fully threaded). The Allen bolts had a shoulder that was just long enough to stop at the flywheel without snugging up the pressure plate all the way. It never crossed my mind that it was a bolt issue as they came with the flywheel.
BTW the pressure plate attachment points are not threaded all the way through. The backside (curved portion) is drilled out bigger than the bolt. |
