It's an OEM modular clutch with 15k on it per the guy I got the trans from. It's possible the person who wrecked the car might have nuked the clutch in 15k i suppose, but seems unlikely. No torque values for me to worry about.

Not that it matters at the moment because of course i now have to pull the clutch and flexplate... turns out I should have realized the dust shields are incompatible between the older 2.4 and the SRT4 trans. Guess i'm about a week out between getting the part ordered and getting it back together.

Did you trim the torx screws to clear the body of the HTob? Do that and you'll get to where you need to be..

So i'm still waiting on parts (next up, proper sized flexplate!), but i found my extra room I needed.

Turns out that the SRT dust shield is exactly the extra thickness I was preloaded before. It's double the thickness of the earlier piece that was bolted on my motor, and gets me right in the ballpark. The early piece is still bolted to the motor, note how much thicker the new piece is.

For the rest of the people that have these in their cars... I ask... wearily... why?

[tgspeedracer]

ya x2 why?

[fade]

Well, since the first shim is .100 I removed one and it feels much better.

As for seal failures....what surface finish did you use on the sealing surface? What kind of tolerances, in the seal area, were used between the machined parts? I'm a mech designer and many of the parts I design require sealing surfaces that HAVE to be as perfect as poss. Losing a $200,000 tool due to seal failure isn't an option here.

hey neimo or quicky4JR i have a few questions for the rage HTOB. it has been working for 10K just fine. well my DCR PS2 clutch went out on me. here is a pic.


now the Throw out bearing looks ok. there is some wear on the tob surface from the pressure plate,but the question is about this ring that goes around the throw out bearing. see the circled area? the ring has a crack on it and when i removed the P.O.S clutch that ring was kinda hanging there. is that ring suppose to have a small break in it to install and remove or no? and if not is there a way i can get that ring from you? does the bearing look good? i can take a better pic if you want. also the ACTclutch/flywheel package is a sprung 6 puck with the flywheel right? im tired of modular the dcr one was my 3rd one on this car. 1 was a bad tob fork messed it up and this last one was the clutch kinda came apart.
