Verto or Pre-verto that is the question
Turbo Mini Forums

I wonder if someone can enlighten me on whether or not i have a verto or pre-verto clutch. I removed the engine direct from a metro turbo which had a cable pulling a short clutch lever, but now i want to change it to hydraulic with the slave cylinder etc. But i need to buy a new lever and push rod but i am not sure which lever to buy, ie: long (pre-verto), short (verto)?

A quick responce would be great as i need to purchase it today.

Thanks

Short, verto is the one you need.

yep - just get a stock 998 clutch cover (wok) assemblywith the lever, pushrod, slave and bracetry in one hit....

right then dave the stock long armed pre vertro clutch cover assemley will do the job on a vertro clutch ?

as apposed to using the old metro vertro Hydraulic short arm version. with that crap bracket slanted down the side of the clutch cover.

I think that is what Dave is suggesting, the Mini verto hyd setup as fitted to boggo 998 minis from 1984 onwards?

As far as I know, the early type plunger and lever arm are the wrong ratio for the verto setup, and do not work. The release bearing does not work for definate.

thanks for the rapid response, but MOSS where i was going to purchase it, have not got any for at least a month!

So i will have to source it some where else.

Thanks again

rigth tom you have cleared that one up

Sumfin special

i suggest you post what you are after on the wanted section, someone will come up trumps iam sure for a few sheckels!

i've got a spare arm here if you need one gimme a shout. might have a bracket but i think i sent it to jon for the frog...
