Unsprung clutch discs

[green-lantern]

Another thought is, could this have bent your flywheel?

Bent flywheel or pressure plate would cause a judder on clutch take up, when setting off etc.

I'm pretty sure the flywheel isn't bent since the replacement plates fit just fine. the PP doesn't show any signs of damage or have any heat spots that might suggest it's bent. it could be but it just dosen't look like it.

Sounds like your clutches like you as much as mine like me.

I'm on disk 4 in the last 2 years.

I would try a clutchnet.

Rivits came out of my daily driver so I bought this one for cheap

Rivits always seem really good in these.




And I have a 3 puck in my Duster that has broken...5-6 axles, and still looks new.

yeah, my friend took it in for some testing at Delta and long story short they believe that the holes for the rivets were to big allowing them to move side to side during rotation causing them to finally break loose.

thanks but I've got a sprung disc on the way.

How are you installing the transmissions? If the transmission is allowed to hang at any time it bends the disk, and can lead to failures like this. Also, check for any runout in the input shaft when you have the trans off. A worn input shaft bearing can do this also. Lastly, check for any play between the splines of a new disk, and your input shaft. Anything other than a perfect fit, will cause problems.

Its 100% the holes being too big for the rivits. Don't buy from that company. Nobody should be worrying about him having cause this problem. He didn't. Unless driving your car is against the rules.

i never knew that could even happen. glad you figured out the problem though.

we are very careful to not allow the trans to hang. once the thing slides in the guy on top puts in a couple of bolts while I hold it then brings the jack in to hold it up just to be safe.
