Subject: Re: planning my attack by Josh on 2010/10/6 16:47:49 Counting horror stories based on clutch brand is tough... Most of the problems are either install related, or related to the hydraulic system. Inevitably, the clutch hard parts get blamed and then ranted and raved about on the forums. Then, it turns out the real issue was the jack ass that didn't realize righty-tighty / lefty-lucy wasn't applicable to the pivot ball/stud; but that never gets talked about. As long as I was using new parts, I never had a problem that could be attributed to the pressure plate, disk, or flywheel. Have I had problems, sure, but it was always do to my own idiocy or failing/failed hydraulics. The lock bolt in the pivot stud, the FSM gives a torque value of 23 Ft. Lbs. (if memory serves); well, you'll break it off if you try that. Bleeding the hydraulics using the dumb ass bleeder valve on the slave instead of filling the system through the bleeder. Flanged nuts that can't be tightened down appropriately on a cast slave. That's the stuff that messes people up on their first go-around with the ZF6. I would bet that 99% of the horror stories you read are really related to those things, and not hard parts. |
