done conversion from dual mass to g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch kit WORKED PERFECT for 3 months. replaced with another clutch kit again vr6. put gearbox back on and bolted everything up took a weekend, started it up and sounds like clutch arm is banging on pressure plate! ok, tried again this weekend, bought a new clutch kit. stripped it down put new clutch kit in checked arm, it was grooved, filed it down smooth again so it shudnt hit, now it still hits, Cant engage any gears all i get is bang bang bang where the rivets on the pressure plate are clacking against the clutch arm that holds the bearing in! its got so bad ive SORN the golf and put it up for sale. bought a new car today. sick of taking this crap thing to bits. am i being stupid is there seomthing i havent done? pleae help im in desperate need. cars filthy, interiot too. bolts are starting to get worn out and my back is killing me
-
did you use the original bolts
-
to add to it ^ we damaged the slave cylinder getting it off, like it discconected from the cylkinder and fluid came out but it seems fine now im just wondering could it need bleeding? but surely it wudnt push the arm if it needed bleeding.
-
and wazzer wich bolts? the pressure plate bolts? or flywheel bolts. it was fine the first time i did it with the upgrade but came to renew and its gone terbbily wrong
-
just asking as there are different bolts needed for the conversion
-
i know, i used the bolts i got with the conversion kit, nothigns has changed really apart from it has a new clutch disc and pressure plate.
-
sorry mate that's where my knowledge of clutches ends lol
I got my mate at his garage to fit mine
-
thats what im tempted to do now. too much mesing about with all this.
-
As Wes says had my G60 setup done at a garage mines been spot on for thousands of mines too.
-
rofl,yeah if uv lost fluid after d/c the slave cylinder ofcourse ur not gna get gears ,rebled it and it wil be fine ,
-
this is why its worth paying VW £200 to fit it. cozzy probly ther best fitter in sinclair group took just over 3 hours doing mine and it still drives like a dream 4-5k miles later.
-
Well many reasons why clutch may not work, theyre not a straight forward thing to do, only if you know what your doing should they be done
-
even if it did need bleeding it should still not foul the pressure plate?
-
is it possible the clutch arm could be bent?
