Hey all. Well, me and some buddies are attempting a clutch install on my 89 si hatchback. I've got an exedy oem 90+ clutch kit and an ACT prolite flywheel. We got the tranny off and the clutch on. We ran into problems when trying to put the tranny back on. The input shaft would line up, but would not want to go all the way back in. So after struggling to try to get it on for about 6 hours. I decided to drop the tranny completely again and ee if everything was still lined up. After taking off the pressure plate, i looked at the clutch disk, and the spline threads are kinda beat up on the side that the input shaft must first enter. So i took the disk off and with the tranny off, i reversed the disk and tried to put it on and it would only go on up to the side with the messed up threads.
My question is, is it possible for me to use the old clutch disk with the new pressure plate? It's pretty worn, but i think it will do the job until i can get another clutch disk. And also, where would i find the best deal on another disk? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Help anyone?

 

I had the exact same problem with a exeddy clutch I got from Clutch City I had to use the old clutch it was in really good shape. If the clutch disc is worn or if you found oil in the bell housing don’t use it. Also be sure to clean the pp and flywheel with some paper towels and brake cleaner. U can pick up a clutch disc pretty cheap from auto zone, advanced auto, or napa. Better safe than sorry
