The flywheel pictured below has 5k miles on it along with a new pressure plate, clutch disc, throw out bearing, etc.
Clutch slips under full immediate throttle from a healthy four. What are all the "spots" an indication of? Attached image(s) |

Installed a new clutch disc last night.
Checked the depth on the flywheel and it measured exactly 22.5mm. Also checked flywheel and pressure plate with a straight edge. When installing the pressure plate to finger tight, it had about a 1/4" distance. Also measured the location of the tangs with a straight edge. After fully tightening the pressure plate, the tangs had moved nearly 3/8ths inch. Everything buttoned up real well with no issues with the clutch cable/fork location, etc. Well, there is one issue. We discovered that my clutch pedal spring is broken. What does this spring do? Does it pull down on the pedal to keep out any slack in the cable, or does it pull up to keep the pedal up (seems the pressure plate itself would do that)? I put about a 100 miles on the car today and all seems well so far. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) And I was pretty successful in resisting the urge to thrash it about.
