Sambo Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 What are some things I should be looking at before throwing this in my car? I've got no basis for comparison to look at the condition/wear on the friction plate or pressure plate. Would it also be an idea to get a workshop to check for runout or something on the flywheel, or is that a small risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted November 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 I don't mind buying a new friction plate, if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHarry Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Personally if a new clutch is available I'd just buy a new pressure plate and fiction disk kit and get the flywheel surfaced then you know it's as good as its gonna be. But of extra cost now is better than taking motor/gearbox back out again imho 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 ^this x2 The disc looks pretty fucked (looks like it should have grooves in it which are worn off so it's probably done heaps of kms It's a gamble to reuse the pressure plate because you could fit it and do 5km or 50000 km before something breaks 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted November 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks team, that's the info I needed. The clutch that's in it is a new standard item, so I might just run that with the lighter flywheel for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 One thing I'd look at is the other side of the pressure plate where the release bearing meets the spring diaphragm and check for any wear there.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
