Hi Kevin,

Is this kit for the C20XE flat flywheel or pot type flywheel?

I think it does matter because i know that the pressure plates are different.

If they are for the flat flywheel can i ask you how much in total delivered to Ireland south.

you can pm me if you want.

thanks

They are for the flat flywheel. That's the one you would want to use on a LET too of you wanted to swap over from the boat anchor on the LET

I'll get a price to Ireland.

Sent plenty but still can't remember the bloody price!

I will need a xe pressure plate from you or a surcharge ( applied by my supplier not me) will add to the cost, sorry

You may also have to wait longer if you can't supply an exchange unit.

Regards

Kev

Hi Rob

Give me a bell mate

The 16v friction plate that is fitted to the xe in fwd has many more splines than the one for the Manta Getrag box so they will look different.

Above is the kit to suit the xe or let with flat flyweel

Middle of friction plate is getrag spline, less than fwd f20 etc boxes

I wish to apologise to Kev, as I found out that I am a grade A plonker.

After chatting with Kev and all the info he gave me, I found out that I have the right clutch friction plate and my input shaft was slightly burred. I feel like a Biff at the moment and thank Kev for his help in getting me to retry the clutch plate to see the problem.

Thanks again

Rob

Haha no prob Rob

At least you can crack on with it now

Yeh Kev I have enlisted some help next week to aid me in fitting the gearbox.

Bought some new bolts for the cover plate from QED.

On a slightly different note did you find any cables (clutch/speedo) for the standard box.

Kev, does your man re-machine the pressure plate face?

They tend to go conical (stick a straight edge across a used one then a brand new one) due to the spring pressure, and when they do and then get a new friction plate on them they don't grip across the full face width, and can be prone to slipping.

Just one to watch, especially on old pressure plates that have done lots of miles

Yea they are completely stripped down to component parts, evaluated for wear and then the pressure plate is reground, springs set and the whole thing rebuilt.

The friction plate gets the same treatment with new truck grade friction linings and heavy duty rivets.

The release bearing is brand new as they are cheap enough to not bother messing with them.
