jezza Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 The engine is out of my GT for some TLC. Main reason was to change the crank oil seal on the gear box side which was leaking a fair bit.I've noticed my CAP 4puk paddle clutch has about 1mm left on the puks. That's after 2 years and only about 12000 miles! Not impressed (not sure if engine oil would make it wear any faster)Should I change or put the cap clutch back in. Dilema!

james@cjperformance Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 if i were in your shoes i would change it while it was out to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 12000 is shocking!! but who ever you got it off will squirm out of any exchanges etc as they will say it wore down quick because of the oilBang a new one it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jezza Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 i bought it from a member on tgtt. It was a brand new cap clutch. Might chance my arm and get in touch with cap and see what they have to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 smae thing has happened to me. rear crank seal leaking has killed my clutch. exedy paddle aswell year old and 12000 miles. i image oil contamination will have caused excessive wear. dont think you will get anywhere complaints wise but let me know if you do.

Lukew360 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It's worth asking about, you've got nothing to lose and they can only say no! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
