Clutch Question

[treble]

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

[Super Jamie]

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

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)

[Super Jamie]

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

Thats why you sacrafice a K50 to the spline alignment gods! :rocknroll:

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.

Me and treble are hopefully gonna be doing this on the weekend... Does anyone no what either the conversion is PSI or the conversion rate??

 

BTW this clutch and box is fairly new out of KE30 any probs there??

[Super Jamie]

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

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

If at first you don't suceed, try again, if you don't suceed then, then ask almighty Super Jamie :P

[Super Jamie]

If at first you don't suceed

read the faq :P

[TRD ke70]

ask jamie, he knows everything,

 

including why

1:women can bleed for a week and not die.:rocknroll:

2:they can produce milk without eating grass. :rocknroll:

3:and can bury a bone without digging a hole. :P

 

 

jamie know's it all :rocknroll:

coming soon, jamie's olderfemales faq :P

now hiring research participants! :rocknroll:

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.

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..

how many hp is the stock 4age clutch capable of?..

I have serious problems with slippage now.. 1st 2nd and 3th gear.. on high rpm ( 6-8k ) if I give full throttle the clutch will slipp..
