fitted an uprated exedy 230 mm at christmas as i destroyed clutch and pal had one spare from group buy. i fitted skimmed flywheel but i recked the dowels removing them and made homemade jobbies. clutch has always juddered since and im confident its the dowels that are at fault as they were rather tight fit for cover plate and i may have given cover a wee chap on.

it spoils the drive so im going to attempt round 2.

ive gotten a second hand flywheel and it away getting skimmed and going to get proper dowels.

now i suspect that if its been juddering cover plate will be worn unevenly. thoughts?

my cars only standard power (uk turbo) so will just be ordering std replacement 3 in 1 kit.

i know cover of uprated kit has 40% more clamping force and it will have to be binned, but is friction plate uprated too? and could i possibly reuse it if it looks in good enough nick?

bit of a costly mistake but hey ho wont be doing it again.

 

The material on the friction plate is different I believe, but not sure about the spring rates.
