The fact that I have to stress at ALL about my Pressure Plate fitting this ******* thing is ridiculous.



It says RIGHT ON THE WEBSITE that any stock or aftermarket clutch WILL suit.



My Racing Beat Race Pressure Plate is an EXACT stock plate replacement, and it fits completely fine on the stock flywheel.



The arms do NOT clear the lip on this tweakit.net 12lb flywheel.

Use with your ring gear. If you don't have a good ring gear and have no luck sourcing it locally, we can supply brand new ring gear fitted to the flywheel.



The factory flywheel has a part carved out of the flywheel to act as the necessary counterweight. So, you'll need the counterweight from an automatic 12A for 12A engines, or automatic 13B for 13B engines, as the manual doesn't use a counterweight standard.

Am I suppost to use different bolts and washers to raise the section that doesn't clear?



WHAT IS THE PROBLEM.



I notified the guy I dealt with when I purchased the thing but I have yet to hear back.





WHEN IT IS LISTED THAT A STOCK CLUTCH WILL SUIT WHY AM I GOING THOUGH THIS ****



I NEED TO DRIVE MY ******* CAR

Ill post the details later, but that flywheel is made for the pre-83 12A, which uses a different pressure plate than the later ones, which are all interchangable.

ColinRX7 06-06-2004 03:17 PM

Which you would assume they would be sure of before they ADVERTISE THAT IT WILL WORK JUST FINE ON 86+ SERIES 4 and 5, 6-PORT MOTORS?!

1Revvin7 06-06-2004 05:14 PM

Yea I knew something was funny about those.

ColinRX7 06-06-2004 05:17 PM

I'm sure it's a quality product, but unfortunately they DONT FIT stock later model pressure plates as ADVERTISED.

That sux, and they suck for not answering your query.

ColinRX7 06-06-2004 07:28 PM

Well I just emailed them hours ago.



I wouldn't expect to hear anything yet. I emailed them at the time I started this thread.
