Just removed old 4 plate clutch for a 5 plate(Surflex).

Took it out for a spin, all ok till a mile from home when the clutch didnt disengage?

Why should this happen? - Do I need to modify the clutch basket to take the extra plate?
Also will just the springs supplied with the plates surfice or do I fit PX springs as well as was fitted on the 4 plate?

:wtf: :wtf:

Li or GP clutch???? if you've got GP, have you got the comma piece and the brass bush the right way round?

Its a GP clutch - I only removed the existing 4 plate and replaced with a 5 plate kit.

Refitted as usual.

Do I need to bend the ears of the lower plate upwards as has previously been mentioned to ease plate release?

And I have read here that my have to change to an Li top plate as it's thinner?

I did fit PX springs inside the standard springs as a precaution - was this right?

I'm stuck here and need to get it sorted ASAP as my car is playing up and am knackered for transport

HELP

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

the much needed free play can be obtained by a few methods...
thinner steel /plain plates,thinner top plate ...or by cutting down the crown wheel.
usually a combination of all above will give you a nice clutch.

Thanks Sean for your reply.

I bought the 5plate Surflex kit from Readspeed as an off the shelf item.

Do I need to get thinner steels then - if so where from?

When you say cut the crownwheel what do you mean ?

Will I need to have it machined down to give the plates room to move?

Sorry for all the questions

Thanks again for your reply
