BushyFox Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hello. I’ve done some searching and I can’t find the answer I’m looking for. I have a X20XEV bottom end going into my Mk1 cavalier. It’s a 6 bolt flat flywheel. The gearbox is the Getrag from the 1.8 Manta. What clutch set up can I use? Found loads of info on the C20XE but nothing for an X20XEV with a flat 6 bolt flywheel.

®evo03 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Only ever seen one done, and was quickly changed to an xe, moral of the story...........xe is plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Normally its the cover to match the flywheel and the friction plate of the right size to match the gearbox splines. The only Vauxhall plate that matches for the 16v engines will be one that fits the F28 gearbox. Did the x20xev ever come attached to an F28?

®evo03 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 A clutch company maybe able to sort this, tell them your flywheel, ecotec, clutch pressure plate? , and gearbox splines? 1.8 manta. Got one made up, guy split three kits to make one, changed centre in friction plate, while i waited, it can be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) You need a 6bolt flat flywheel off the earlier 8V engine, then use that clutch type with a Manta GTE pressure DRIVE plate Edited March 18, 2021 by Jessopia74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
