Hello,
As part of my winter (soon to be spring (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ) I wanted to replace the clutch. I had the flywheel resurfaced, 1st time ever, and although it's not a new flywheel I thought I should check the end play. I removed the main seal, and o-ring then mounted the flywheel. Using the old washer, I installed 3 bolts and torqued them to 50ft/lbs. My dial indicator measured .006 one thousands end play. I've read on here that .004 is optimal plus or minus .001. Given the originality of the car, I'm confident that the shims are what came from the factory. Am I on the right track in thinking that I can shim my way to the proper end play? I understand that 3 shims is the limit so if I'm correct, I'll need to measure the shims I have and then look for thicker replacement? Hope this makes sense. I'm learning something new every day. Thanks in advance for your help. Jack |
