treble Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hey Guys, Were doing an auto to manual conversion on the KE55, and I'm told the clutch needs to be torqued on to the engine to a certian pressure... can someone please tell me the torque setting?? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 the clutch doesn't touch the engine there is a torque setting for flywheel to crank, and there is a torque setting for pressure plate to flywheel, i'll look them both up when i get home i suggest buying a gregories manual don't forget to install a spigot bearing in the end of the crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Have fun lining it up too. I think he meant Pressure Plate :P Clutch Plate is the double sided plate that goes between the Pressure Plate (solid heavy thing with diaphragm fingers in the middle) and the Flywheel (which bolts onto the engine side of things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 if you want to get technical, the sacrificial part is usually referred to as a "driven plate". when someone asks me about a "clutch plate", i ask "which one, driven or pressure?" :P pressure plate to flywheel - 21Nm flywheel retaining bolts - 66Nm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD ke70 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 make sure you read what's the clutch plate, they only go in one way. it should say "flywheel side" on one side of the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewy86 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Me and treble are hopefully gonna be doing this on the weekend...

Super Jamie Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 there are no pounds-per-square-inch (psi) in a clutch, it's not a turbo. if you mean the conversion from newton-metres (Nm) of torque to foot-pounds (ft-lb) of torque, then google can help you with that http://www.rollaclub.com/faq/index.php?title=Manual_Gearbox this will teach you about gearboxes http://www.rollaclub.com/faq/index.php?title=Clutch this will teach you about clutch setting showing a little bit of initiative will get you a long way around here. showing none will do the opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancullen Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Just turn your current Sloganizer into a link for potential applicants. I'm sure you'll get lots of bites with all the 'naked chicks' slogans. :P Or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David[RL] Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 do not thighten the bolt too much.. I managed to break one of the flywheel bolts yesterday as I was changing the flywheel #¤% had to weld a new bolt to the rest to remove it from the crank, luckely it worked :P on my old 2T engine I managed to break one of the pressure plate bolts..
