When you fit a 3ltr clutch to a 2.5TD....
« on: 14 January 2008, 18:59:09 »
I bolted mine straight on. The clutch doesnt seem to be going in quite far enough though. Was I right to assume my nearly new MV6 clutch was a bolt straight on job or, do you need to modify it? Use a TD pressure plate?

Otherwise I think my flywheel is fooked  >:(

I think the diesel flywheel might be the wrong profile for a 3.0 clutch....

This is something I am looking to do - and I was under the impression that it was a straight forward bolt on jobbie, but I haven't had a butchers yet so can't really help. You are correct in saying that Omegatoy uses one though.

Thats what I thought. I do remember asking Vx how the two flywheels differed though. The answer was the TD one had a recess area where the clutch sits... Maybe, this is why my clutch doesnt quite 'go far enough'?
I might just be wishful thinking though, as I've just sold a DMF :(.

Alas, only person I know who's done it is Omegatoy, and he'll be offline for a while :(
