Reply With QuoteAs far as I know theres no right and wrong way to fit a clutch, as long as its aligned but the box wouldnt of fitted back on if it was fitted wrong.
As some of you may know my clutch stopped working recently so I ripped it out today. This is what I found.
In the second pic you can see the inside of the plate has all been scored and ****ed where the friction plate has been rubbing against it.
Whats gone wrong? I've only done 1500 miles. Could it be a faulty clutch? Or did we fit it wrong?.

Im sure there is a wrong way. The only way to **** it up is by fitting the friction plate the wrong way round. One side sticks out alot the other doesnt.
ragged?

Having fitted many clutches over the years I can assure you that there is a right and wrong way for fitting the pressure plate.
Most, but not all, friction plates are usually marked with the phrase "Flywheel Side" as an indication as to which face goes against the flywheel.
The centre hub of the friction plate usually protrudes more at one side than th other and this usually fits within the recess in the flywheel.
Be aware though that some clutch designs can differ from the norm.
It does look from the pics that the friction disc has been fitted the wrong way causing contact between friction plate hub and the pressure plate of the clutch cover.
god dam it i feel clever as thats what i said to joe earlier! whoo whoo
