I can see the grease on the inside of the wheel.The baseplate is not straight, same with the flywheel. It's been very hot for this to happen.Did the clutch shudder?Also, why was the ring gear welded? They just need heating up and fitting on the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously he is mistaken because you said so. Ring gear is stich welded because it can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little bit of oxy and it slipped straight off. When you were offering advice on install (as you do) you mentioned this probably 5+ times so I definately made sure it happened. Not wanting to be smug, but I take some pleasure in reading this again. Either the original bearing was not replaced, or replaced with a factory item as opposed to the one supplied.I'm not saying this is the whole reason for the issue, but it's a major contributing factor. It's the sole reason why instructions are provided, but why do so many mechanics think they do not need them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of the ring gear when mentioning using oxi. But clutch didnt fail because I misspoke.So secret ingredient to the success of my clutch is a spigot bearing that's had all the lubrication washed out of it and run dry?I do remember now he replaced the one supplied because it felt like it was about to seize when turned with your fingers. He showed me and I said get a new one.I deal with bearings every day at work and would make that call everytime when putting something "brand new" together. And im not even a mechanic.Maybe in the instructions you need to tell the mechanic why they need to use your bearing that feels half seized.

I dont see how, but they are your instructions so yer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are anti mal wood but if I was you I'd be sending that somewhere to get check for what was wrong. It might just be the photos but to me looks like either something is all over the the clutch or it was horribly out of alignment somehow.
