What clutch do you use?
Turbo Mini Forums

all slaves/masters are the same size.
I agree with harry about the grey being surprisingly light though... i've had a heavier clutch in a 998 than my turbo!

Grey is definitely that bad, although it sounds like it. My wife has no problems with it. marcel Chichak has written a good story about clutch setup, I believe you can find it at www.minispares.com and search for technical articles. The basic idea is that the spring should be flat once the clutch is assembled, if not most of the pedal effort goes to pressing the spring flat and NOT in releasing the clutch.

Dave?s approach is good provided non-molested parts are used. If someone did mess with the back plate previously it?s better to do a dry build with the flywheel off the engine to check the clutch alignment.

In my countryman I am using grey with the bespoken Metro setup - and it is much lighter to depress than the std. Mini clutch setup in my S with an orange diaphragma!

No im not trying to take vegards title just been using the search function! I want to do the clutch mod to my back plate as i am running a grey plate and a race rally plate and got some slip last time i was at the pod I was just wondering where the measurement is taken on the lugs as i have just measured mine and they are all around 34.3mm does this sound right?

No. Get a new measuring stick. They will not be 34.3mm, I guarantee it.

is it from the clutch face to the top of the lug or the full thickness of the plate?
not at my unit to measure it now!

Driving face to top of lugs.

Think about it - the rear face does nothing, so measuring it is of little use.

Anyone using double grey?

I will be when the parts finally arrive from morspeed

I got 1mm taken off each backplate lug to make up for the extra drive straps (3 at each point) and no slip with a grey and ap race-rally plate. Not sure if its common practise to use extra drive straps but this will effect clamping force!
