Andymcm Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I have a competition stage 4 clutch and flywheel kit and when fitted the clutch catches on the bell housing, what could the issue be ? See attached Quote
akyakapotter Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 need to grind the bell housing i believe mine done the same Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Would this happen on spec 6 puk clutch? Quote
akyakapotter Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Would this happen on spec 6 puk clutch? i miss read my spec was touching that much it locked the engine up solid lucky we tried to turn it over before fitting the engine. Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 May be the answer to my question.Illlook into that tommorow then... Just fitted engine into new shell.. had bottom end checked, and new clutch fitted... And its now developed tight spot when tryna turn over by hand... Quote
Ollieh17 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Had same issue with a spec clutch on mine. Turned out mr2 clutches were sold rather than the statlet ones, just had to grind the box slightly Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Got my mate who built the engine coming to inspect tommorow..So ill have a look when he's there... Cheers lads...Much gotta be taken off? Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 This is what my issue is... gearbox off on weekend and some quality time with the grinder lol Quote
Ollieh17 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Not that much, just make sure you do enough the first time! Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Yeh i will dont worry... Box aint coming off again!! Cheers again.. Quote
Charlie28 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Never knew about this, will have to check my spec 6 isnt hitting before i refit my engine! Quote

mark-tozer Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 It's there no clutch that actually works in a starlet they either don't fit and rub or last 5 mins we need some one to make a decent clutch. Quote

mark-tozer Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I'm going to try one of these next Edited November 26, 2015 by mark-tozer Quote
Charlie28 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Without sounding too stupid, how will i know if its rubbing? i've had my gearbox on and off a few times and dont have any problems fitting it over the clutch? Quote
fordie_glanzaV Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 When fitting mine it slipped over the clutch and on in the spline perfect...Put everything together.. Turned engine over by hand and could feel a tight spot/grinding noise... Quote
Ollieh17 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Mine was the same, was very hard to turn over. I think its worse with some if you have a different to oem flywheel Quote
Matthewep91v Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I still have the stock flywheel I will test fit and see whats going on Quote
