pre verto clutch shit.
Turbo Mini Forums

So when clutch pedal is at rest position, does the arm and any free movement seem normal ?

And when you press the pedal at this point, does the pedal feel normal ?


If so, then the friction disc having stuck to the flywheel or cover is very possible.

Remove the starter and good chance you might be able to get a look in there

Operate clutch whilst looking in this opening. It may require very very long legs or a very long neck, but is doable ( with someone helping )

If the disc is stuck, you might be able to pry it free with a screwdriver or similar a bit at a time.

Or it may break free with the foot down, run engine etc type efforts

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

I do think i found the problem. Those 3 flat plates that are bolted on the flywheel and hold the pressure plate on the back.. aren't those supposed to stand away from the flywheel when in rest? Now they lay flat up against it.

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

The drive straps should be parallelish from the backplate to underneath the diaphragm if i remember correctly, should be two each corner making a total of 6 and shouldnt touch the flywheel, is the clutch plate in the correct way round?

Wel thats a good question that I'm going to look into next week. Finally worked out how the clutch works. Also reasambled the flywheel "wok" and made out it has about 2 mm play in the pivot point and 1 mm in the ball end.. wich is allot for a system that leaves almost no margin of error. . .
