It's good to have feedback about why things have failed from the manufacturer. We as a consumer don't always get that info. When you say fitting transmission with the bellhousing on, what are you referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to have feedback about why things have failed from the manufacturer. We as a consumer don't always get that info. When you say fitting transmission with the bellhousing on, what are you referring to?The bellhousing on a T56 is removable from the transmission. When attempting to remove the transmission from the vehicle, the transmission itself needs to be unbolted from the bellhousing first, and then the bellhousing removed. When reinstalling, the bellhousing goes on first, then the transmission.BA Mk1 XR6T's with the 5 speed can not have the bellhousing removed. They are tricky to remove and install! Also the FG Supercharged V8 has an intergral bellhousing, which makes it hard to remove and refit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found going from an organic full faced clutch to a 5 puck button the peddle weight is like 50% lighter the only issue is learning the engagement point other then that they are way better to use. Also what brand do you for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what brand do you for ?We have noty fitted all the ones we have replaced but have been a mixture of organic and cerametallic type arrangements.We use Mal Wood clutches but do not want this to come accross as an advert for them, we use what we believe is best for the customer based on their requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clutch plate had grease on the flywheel side due to the spigot bearing not being replaced. Edited 23/01/13 01:06 AM by OED666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
