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.  |

The flywheel came via a third party so I’m not sure when the bolts got added to the mix or if they grabbed the wrong bag at the shop. The flywheel came from KEP and it is a work of art. They were very helpful trying to sort out my issue even before I found the KEP mark. Looking on line there are many pressure plate bolts that are both Allen head and not threaded all the way to the head that must work for some transmissions, just not a 901.
Thank you all for the comments and suggestions On to the project! |
