I ordered an 8lb fidanza flywheel and oem exedy clutch off ebay.
When I went to install the pressure plate over the clutch (with the alignment tool of course) I aligned the three pins and the pressure plate still doesn't sit flush over the clutch. When I tightened the 6 10mm 12 point in a criss cross pattern, when I went to tq them down at 19ft/lbs, the head of one of the bolts broke.

Why isn't it sitting flush? The clutch is on the right way. When I put the OEM clutch on (the worn one) the pressure plate sat closer but not flush.

 

anyone?

 

how far is it off?

 

it sticks out maybe 1/4 of an inch those 3 tabs barely go in. When the clutch isn't in there, it sits fine up against it. And when I put the worn down oem clutch, it sat a tad bit closer.

 

??

 

No 1 really?

 

Sounds odd to me, so dumb question, but are you facing the clutch disc the right way?

The clutch only fits one way. If I put it the other way, the springs on the clutch touch the flywheel bolts and it's not flush with the flywheel.

 

Anyone???

 

You sure its the right stuff for your car? Check with the ebay seller to make sure.

 

check the exeddy website as well to make sure you ordered right... sucks if you didn't coz you'll have to go through a hassel sending it back and getting a new one!
