Ongoing gearbox/clutch problem

[Mike-530]

All sorted now cheers lads. Used the extension bar from socket set to hold her in place lol.

Whats the deal with the orc clutch release bearing? It doesn't have a clip to hold it on the clutch fork. I didn't think it would matter as its not going anywhere lol.

Cheers

Good choice dude 👍

Cheers boss. Tuning developments said they don't recommend them as they are too heavy. Something about stressing the thrust washers.

Thanks

Same can be said for any upgraded clutch.

chatting shit mate they are well tried and tested probably wanted you to buy from them

[Mike-530]

Haha the guy is full of shit. Took a year and 2 month to forge my car lol. A fucking YEAR!! Already brought 2 SPECS from him and both failed within a month. He also said he was going to build me a gearbox back in February using my old parts and some he claimed he had. 7 odd months later.....nothing. Still waiting on my flywheel and gear linkage arm that he said was posted about 2 weeks ago. The ORC came from japan in the time i have been waiting for my parts!!

Think im well over due a feedback thread lol!

Thanks

Only time you're likely to suffer any wear is holding the clutch for prolonged periods of time. But even a standard clutch will cause wear in the thrust washers.

Avoid starting car with clutch down and leaving in gear at traffic lights

Much fees etc you get hit with

700 for the clutch mate and they dropped the price on invoice to 250, so costing about 50-60 import I believe. Not had the invoice yet tho

The clutch looks epic mate, very well made. Get yourself one on order ????

Fitting instructions are very vague and all in japanese. Look out for a little paint line on the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch cover to keep them all the right way round.
