Well, after a hiatus to take care of a newborn, I'm back on the 3.6 conversion trail. Today's challenge is the assembly of the RSR Pressure Plate and Throwout Bearing. Got some issues (lack of knowledge!).
First, this is an '87 (G50 car) so keep that in mind. Now, look at this image:
OK, that looks ugly, I think the BBS downsampled it. The captions are:
1 - Bearing Housing
2 - Thin Shim
3 - Spring Washer, Convex toward bearing housing
4 - Pressure Plate (not shown...)
5 - Thin Shim
6 - Thick Washer, beveled surface away from bearing housing
7 - locking clip
This 'seems' to be the right order (I have no G50 vintage shop manual) comparing with the old dual mass pressure plate. However, you cannot get the locking clip installed if you take this route.
'nother question. Clutch does go with the raised spring pack toward the engine, doesn't it?
OK, this was just a gratutitous question to show the RSR flywheel. But do let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Chris Brown
