Title: Clutch cover removal?
Post by: dthebuk on April 04, 2009, 04:09:46 PM
right, transmissions off, now i want to take off the clutch cover. Problem is that the thing spins freely, is there anyway of locking it?

thanks :D

Wedge a big screw driver into the flyweel teeth to stop it turning,

BTW when you put the clutch back on be sure to get the centre plate the right way round, the bit that bulges out in the middle faces the gearbox

awesome, had spent the whole day working on the car and my brain just stopped working, bit of a blonde moment :P

I\'ll get it off today. Do MRP supply clutch components individually? I don\'t think that it\'ll need a new clutch plate or cover plate.

well it turns out i\'ll be needing a new friction plate.

is this just the friction plate?
