today i tried to install my Exedy Clutch(full face organic) in the LS engine that im about to put into my CRX. Well it doesnt fit right at all. The Pressure Plate wont sit flush witht the Flywheel. It will fit right when the Disk isnt in place...but when the it is the PP wont fit right. There is abou a 1/4 inch between the PP and the FW. Why is it doing this? I know that the disk is in the right way...thats not the problem. What else could it be? The FW was just resurfaced and when they were doing it theybroke off one of the studs that is used for alignment...i dont think that tat is the problem either b/c like i said, it fits when the disk isnt in there. TIA for the help.

PS-That throw out bearing is a BIYATCH!!!

humm, what year LS engine? What year and model disk did you order?

 

Did you use an alignment tool when installing the clutch to make sure it lines up correctly. It will tell you how to do this in the service manual. If that doesn't work you might have the wrong year clutch disc for your engine.

 

Its a 92 Ls and i ordered one for the 92 LS. I think that the model number was 08-800a from http://www.clutchcityonline.com . I did use the alignment tool and it worked right...i just dont know what is wrong. I wanted to put my engine in Saturday or sunday so i need to get this figured out FAST. Thanks.

PS-Clutch city onlie is a great place to work with. They had awesome customer service and they got the cutch to me in like 3 or 4 days. to clutch city online

By the way...when i got the engine it had a clutch on it from a different tranny...i think that it was a b16 one but im not sure. I dont know if that heps or not...just thought id let you know.

start to screw it in. the PP is a spring so u have to start screwing in the bolts

 

I figured that it would stick out a little but i didnt think that it would stick out that much. It sticks out like a 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Is that normal?

Sean

 

try screwing it in man. the spring should start loading

 

all clutches do that ...once you torque down the pressure plate bolts then it will sit flush

also pull out the broken stud and put in a new on

I cant do that because the engine is going in tomorrow. I wish that i had time to do it but i dont. Do you guys think that it will hurt anything? I was told that the only thing they are there for is to line up the PP. Should i out off the swap just for this little dowel?

tTt!!!

 

you have a b16 or the 92 LS tranny? those two are different...

 

you say it had a b16 disk in it then you have a 90/91 tranny not 92, you need to get the 90/91 disk for it, hopefuly they will let you exchange the disks

90/91 teg disk ->cable b16 tranny
