nerfbat Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 guys, I'd love some advice before i buy the wrong HD clutch kit. i have read all the guides i can on here, and they all seem to say that a 5k clutch is 200mm in diameter, and 4k is 180mm. now, i measured up mine and its 180 mm diameter, and its def. a 5k engine. so, i assume previous owner/s has put 3,4k clutch on it, and i get the 200 mm clutch kit regardless? or do i order the 180mm? any help appreciated Quote
Evan G Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 if its 180mm its a 4k flywheel clutch. ive heard (don't quoted me!) that 200mm clutch/flywheels fit in ke70 4 speeds only! Quote
nerfbat Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) so do i just replace it with another 180mm(4k), or go to the 200mm that 5k's should use?(as far as i know?) thanks for the reply mate edit: I'm running a ke70 5 spd Edited October 2, 2011 by nerfbat Quote
towe001 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 The flywheel will be either a 3k or 4k. My thoughts, don't even bother with the exedy and go for the clutch industries brand R47N. The clutch plate i got to replace the exedy one is a hell of a lot better, same price. Bursons where i got it from. Quote
Evan G Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 the problem is your 5 speed is a 19 tooth input shaft. the 5k 200mm is 21 spline. 4k is 19 tooth 180mm. just get a HD exedy 180mm 19 spline clutch. Quote
Evan G Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 also you should changed your clutch pressure plate to suit the heavy duty clutch. Quote
nerfbat Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Posted October 2, 2011 cheers mate. ill be grabbing full clutch kit, ie clutch plate, pressure plate and throw out bearing. just wanted to make sure b4 i commit. once again, thanks for your time, guys Quote
