#2759, "RE: Clutch Problems ... Need Help .... Frustrated" In response to In response to 7 May-12-04 07:48 AM by techboy
Originally posted by XtremeRS AFAIK, both pressure plates from modular and non mod are the same..It should work..I don't think you got the correct PP either, but who knows..Its either a LUk, or a Sachs plate,just worked over for higher clamp loads..The only diff from Mod to non mod is the flywheel..But, there ARE visual differences between the LUK and the SAchs plates..The Luk is "thinner" than a sachs, and the PP fingers look a little different. I don't know..I guess I need to find out for sure, because I was going to go this route too..
XtremeRS .... well after a slow start this is turning into quite the interesting discussion.
I'll tell you what I know for sure, and then what the people at CM told me and hopefully that will bring some clarity.
I know it is definitely a CM clutch. It has a CM logo right on the pressure plate. And I know that the part number is 361922 1100. The number is also right on the pressure plate.
When I called CM, I gave them that part number (listed above) and the guy told me that the clutch would fit either a 94/95 Neon or a 95 Eclipse with non-modular flywheel. I asked him what the difference was, and he said the pressure plates were different thicknesses, he then elaborated and said that was why the diaphram (what I was calling the "fingers") was touching the clutch disk when I tightened it all down. He said I would either have to get a non-modular flywheel off a Neon, or get the correct clutch/pressure plate for my car.
So, I don't whose right about all this, all I know is that the clutch I have does not bolt properly onto my flywheel ... and that's a problem.
What do you think? BTW, what does "AFAIK" stand for?
This brings me to a flywheel question - which I think I'll start a new thread for ....
