Not that bad really.

I just replaced the clutch on my 914 V8 and found some major stuff wrong. The old clutch disc was hitting the flywheel bolts. I sized up the new one and it looked like it was going to clear them with room to spare so I went ahead with the install. What I did not know was that the flywheel had been improperly machined and the pressure plate is too far from the clutch surface and it still slips like crazy. Is there a way to save it?

I would like to replace the flywheel but I am not sure if a new one will work with my setup. The flywheel seems to be a Porsche part but uses a Chevy starter attached with a small adapter plater. How is the flywheel bolted to the crank? Is there an adapter there too? I can't find any I.D. on the tranny adapter plate so I have no idea who made it. I can say it looks pretty old maybe 80's vintage. Ideas? If I where to replace the flywheel who makes one where I can still use my brand new 911 clutch? I'm on a budget!!

Thanks
