Conversion Clutch Kits
We specialize in developing kits to cater for common or unique conversions.
Be mindful selecting your conversion kit – all conversions aren’t created equally! For the clutch to operate correctly and last, alignment between the engine and transmission is crucial.
Simple things to check during fitting:
- Does the input shaft fit the spigot bearing?
- Does the spline of the input shaft, engage the clutch spline?
- Does the guide tube for the bearing clear the spline of the clutch plate?
- Does the release bearing carrier and bearing combined with the clutch fork, all sit in the correct position relating to the bell-housing window and clutch height?
- The clutch fingers move toward the gearbox. As the disc gets thinner, the carrier and bearing needs to be able to move back and allow the clutch to wear fully (roughly 6mm minimum)
- Select the bearing to suit the clutch fingers.
- General rule: flat fingers need roll tip bearing and roll tip finger need a flat bearing
- Finally, do you have enough travel to disengage the clutch? Master and slave combo needs to be selected carefully.
