I replaced the clutch and flywheel last year and the rear main seal, but it looks like it's leaking again.
As part of the task of removing the pressure plate, clutch and flywheel to get to the seal, what parts can't I use again? Do I need a new felt washer? What else? |

Cap'n, I'm looking at the list of items in Pelican's clutch kit and I don't see a lock washer listed. Are you referring to the 'metal crush gasket' on their list?

They call it that. I call it a lock washer because its function is to allow the barbed ridges on the backside of the flywheel bolts to dig in and lock the bolts in place. Porsche just calls it a washer. In NO WAY does it "crush". The Cap'n |
