Presumably your installation tool will push the other twelve prongs down to the same level as you tighten it down

I hope so but why are the three prongs under the spring arms so far down?

On all pics of new sac clutch pressure plates online they are all equal

[05omegav6]

Any doubts, take it back...

[JamesV6CDX]

Look at the pic. I've just read the spring pushes the mechanism clockwise as the clutch wears, to compensate

Mine is as far clockwise as it can go, no?

Hence shagged?

How can this be from new??

HELP !!

Any instructions regarding the two arrows next to the plastic tab/coil spring

Perhaps you have to wind it back on fitting .. or it goes back as you tighten it down evenly .. ??

[JamesV6CDX]

Al, none at all

Nige, quite possible

pages 12  & 13 .. talk about turning the spindle to relieve the spring  ??

page 25 might be useful .. if you go to the product site ??

I was just reading the same PDF .. I was going to say the same thing - does the tool effectively 'set up' the adjuster?

Not sure though - I read it and my brain still can't quite figure out how it works..

Not just me then 

[05omegav6]

Being self adjusting and all, you'd have thought it would adjust itself

Go figure

[JamesV6CDX]

I figure I want a good old fashioned clutch which my old man (god rest his soul) taught me to fit with nothing more specialist than a spanner and a broom handle!!!!

Serek, you seem to know a bit about these, any thoughts on the last?

Wonder if its been sent back as wrong type and the supplier has sent it out again and not realised its no good to fit 

[JamesV6CDX]

Just spoke to LUK directly, very helpful chap, talked through it and he assures me it's fine and ready to fit

When you do it you'll have to try and describe to us what happens, etc..
