In the middle of moving my mom and she only has 12 days till she has to be out of her house.
The release bearing let go and wiped out my Gene Berg balanced KEP presure plate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Getting a new KEP clutch is no problem but what to do about the balance job???? Fuck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Can't afford to have this shitter down for long. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Attached image(s)

That sucks!
Isn't the flywheel the biggest part of the balancing? I thought the pressure plate wasn't that much of the whole deal since it's more center (pulled in) and lighter? But what do I know? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I don't know, time wise I might have to say fuch it and just slap one in anyways.
I'm thinking of converting it to a late release bearing, this is the second release bearing since I put this engine in the bus 4 years ago. Sachs "German" early bearings are total garbage now.... Sachs of shit IMHO...bet they are made in east Germany. We're down to one car right now. |

I noticed that on the "Pronged" pressure plate.
If you can, I'd do the update to the later style. I get it would last longer. On that same note, my Monster Squareback clutch is chattering. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) 2275 engine with 31" mudders on a "091" tranny. Needless to say the clutch gets thrashed with even easy driving. I'm waiting for mine to go tits-up as well.

Pressure plates are balanced. Unless you balanced the pp together with the flywheel? Call Kennedy and see what up.
