I have now got the box back out and after a phonecall I have taken the clutch apart for checking (a stupid move as it took me ages to line up properly)

I just need confirmation that its going back in the correct order as I have searched the web and only come out with a guide for a RX 7 which looks wrong for our cars.

Tell me what you recon, do the pics look like the correct sequence?

Thanks

No idea im afraid mate. This is definatly a 5 spanner job and im more a 2 (on a good day!) A professional will be along soon to help im sure

Anyone? (please)

Does'nt the first disc,left pic,need to be turned around?-or will it foul the second?-sequence looks o.k.

Scrap that just seen the pot flywheel!-looks ok tho'!-wasn't you having trouble with the release fork?

Yep release fork was seized in the pointing down towards the front wheels, I couldn't even get the slave cylinder back on (clutch stuck onto bearing). I rang the guy up today who removed the clutch and he said I should strip the clutch down and inspect it as a plate could be backwards, It looks OK to me but I'm not too knowledgeable. Looks OK to me though at a engineering kind of guess? The last pic was of the clutch before I stripped it down and all the bolts and pressure plate bolts are home (seated off)

Is the bearing free on the g/box-ie slides the whole length easily?

Yes it goes the full lengh easily ( a slight kick when going through vertical position , but still free)I have looked at this first and everythings OK. I have replaced the pivot ball with a smithys one and double checked the lengh of that also the bearing carrier is symetrical and can only be held on by the spring clips one way, and all the springs are tucked in where they should be.

So when you put the 'box in,it pushes the fork forwards?-if that's the case,surely the clutch is too deep?

Not much help I know but aint' up on OS Giken,I'm going by twin plate truck clutches! :o

Thanks for your input Darren, Does seem that way but it came out of a Zed?

Maybe I'll go for round 31 later on tonight :mac1: (I love a good beating lol)

 

oh just remembered I had measured it up against my stock clutch and flywheel and its roughly the same (can't get calipers to it too accurately)

looks the same enough to be though, cheers m8

Heres a pic of mine

 

sorry its not the best

 

 

from memory theres only one way it will all fit together properly??
