Expand I would agree with this. If the crush depth (distance from top of Concentric Slave Cylinder to clutch diaphragm) is too small, the CSC could drag/push on the diaphragm (when clutch pedal is released) which would be pulling the clutch discs and pressure plates marginally off the flywheel which would reduce the clamping force of the clutch assembly and could easily cause clutch slip, especially during high torque loads. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86855-g6et-finished-for-now/page/53/#findComment-1589659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue gumtree ad "Excellent condition twin plate clutch to suit FG turbo $2950neg" lol EDIT btw the clutch was supplied and installed by Tunehouse, bit of a surprise to me as I know they are/were exxy, thought their rep for quality work was ok?
