My clutch was slipping,particularly when suddenly accellerating and at higher rpm, particularly in 5th gear,
so I took the gearbox off to inspect.
The clutch plate and the friction surfaces at flywheel and clutch cover are basically in as new condition.
The back of the clutch cover has some wear marks where it rubs against the throw out fork.
The engine is a 302 with Renault bell housing and gearbox, the flywheel is a Ford?? with 121 teeth, the
clutch cover is Borg & Beck Type 9/ 9 1/2 519 MW,the clutch plate is Valeo.
Does anyone run this setup?
Is there an easy cure to fix the problem?
I was thinking of perhaps machining something like 3mm, off the flywheel where the clutch cover bolts on to
prevent the clutch cover from rubbing against the throw out fork and to achieve a higher pressure to the
clutch plate.
Has anyone done this? Would the flywheel need re-balancing?
Any other idea without getting a new clutch?
