I ordered a new clutch and pressure plate from hondaautomotiveparts.com and when I went to install my pressure plate I ran into a problem. As you can see from the picture the dowel pin hole and bolt hole are opposite from the flywheel.


My only guess is that I don't have the right pressure plate. I ordered it for a del sol VTEC b/c that is where my engine came from. Right now, I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Did I get the wrong pressure plate? I don't want to order another one and get the same thing.

WTF!? is that the right picture!?

 

wut the hell is that pic of?

 

a pressure plate on top of a flywheel

did you try rotating it??

 

Samething happened to me. You must have it backwards so keep trying different positions.

haha yup common problem

 

yeah try rotating it, but it have to align with the flywheel correctly with the mark or white mark. other than that, they might have giving u the si sohc vtec one instead of the dohc vtec

I rotated it several times and then a couple more times. I'm stumped

keep trying lol, it would help if you compare it with the stock PP.

 

I tossed that one in the trash two months ago. I'm trying to get my swap together. I guess I will go to autozone tomorrow and compare plates.

 

anybody else?

 

looks like you got a sohc PP.

then i probably got a sohc clutch too

 

Just by looking at the pic, I can tell you that its not rotated in the correct postion. A PP will only fit one way on a flywheel, and it looks like it is in the wrong position. Like everyone said, try rotating til all the bolt holes are aligned, and if its still wrong, its probably teh wrong PP. Look at the part numbers.

yeah there is only one way the pp can go into the flywheel.

 

So did ya fix the problem yet?

 

check the part number on the bag that came with the pressure plate and call honda to make sure you have the right one ....

edit: if its not the right part number call hondaautomotiveparts to see if they will give you a new one...
