Subject: [s-cars] Dual Mass Flywheel

[Mike Platt]

I just replaced my clutch about a month ago. Fun meter
was pegged I will tell you:) Anyway, my pressure plate
was really stiff. I had plenty of clutch material left
also, with 120k. Maybe yours wasn't releasing all the
way due to age. When I put everything back together, I
polished the rust off the dowel pins holding the
flywheel /pressure plate in location, lubed up the
splines with a super light coat of anti seize, and
sanded down the face of my flywheel with 80 then 100
grit on a palm sander. Make sure you don't have any
oil leaking onto your flywheel from the crank. That
will cause some slippage.
All is well after a month.
Good Luck

I am changing my clutch due to large slippage under
boost conditions. I
not=
iced the flywheel will move separately from the ring
gear somewhat. Is
this=
 normal? If I can rotate it by hand (approx 1/4"+or-)
what's it do with
a m=
otor at full boost/launch? The old clutch actually
appears good with
plenty=
 of material remaining and the pressure plate also
looks ok for 96000
miles=
. The new is going in but will my slippage be solved?
Thanks for all insight.
Best,
