Just had my 901 transmission rebuilt, and installed a new clutch disc, throwout bearing, pressure plate, and resurfaced the flywheel. I put it all back together, and I couldn't get the car to drive without any clutch slip, regardless of how I had set the clutch slack. I had an oil gasket get pinched and squirt oil all over the place, and thought that the oil had gotten into the bellhousing. I took it all apart and the thing was dry. Everything was dry; the clutch disc still wasn't even completely scuffed.
Any advice? I don't know what else I could check. Efrain 68 912 Coupe |

Resurfacing the pressure plate is OK if you take the following into account:
- the surface must NOT be shiny. A slight roughness is neccesary to avoid slippage. - anything taken of the surface MUST also be taken off the mounting flange where the pressure plate is screwed against. Otherwise your pressure plate will not seat fully. - because the clutch is now moved a bit closer to the engine, you must add a spacer under the stud that holds the throwout bearing finger to compensate.

Pressure plate was dished - was only clamping the outer edge of the clutch plate, thus causing my slip. The vendor refused to replace it.
Anyone ever had this problem? Efrain 68 912 Coupe |

Hello,
You should give the "vender" a whole bunch of free advertising for refusing to replace a defected part! Good luck, Chas |
