First the background - The car had a 2.2T motor and 911/01 5-speed with 215mm flywheel, clutch and pressure plate which I ran for the last 4 years, covered about 8,000 miles and had no problems. The 911/01 trans would grind on occassion going into 2 and the oil had a lot of material in it. I figure I will rebuild my 2.2 and the 911/01 for future use.
I purchased a new 215mm pressure plate, clutch, throw-out bearing and pilot bearing. The flywheel has been cleaned up and it is ready to go.
For now I was goint to install a 901/13 gearbox that I have and when I mated it up to the motor the throw-out bearing will not touch the pressure plate.
In searching the archives of Pelican I think I came up with a solution to my problem.
The first pictures are of the 911 gearbox that was connected to the 2.2 motor.
This picture shows the clutch fork and associated parts that came off the car and were working.
Edit - The part number on the fork is 9011167120R
The next series of pictures are from the 901/13 gearbox, this combination will not actuate the clutch. Here is the fork mounted with the new throw-out bearing.
Here is the clutch pivot ball that was on the 901/13.
Here are the clutch fork and associated parts that do not seem to work.
Edit - The part number on the fork is 9011167111R
