1.) Did you refinish the flywheel when you put the new clutch in?
If you had burn spots from being overagressive on starts or a slipping clutch due to oil, a new friction disk and pressure plate are not going to help much due to the overheated spots on the flywheel. If you look at the flywheel surface it will have blue/black spots or marks on it. The 2.0 clutch has slighly higher clamping pressure than the 1.7/1.8...approximately 900 lbs vs 1100 lbs as far as I remember. The main help is using the 6 spring friction disk (early 911) as opposed to the stock 4 spring...the take up is smoother. |
