  2. Breaking in period on clutch and flywheel

    in Transmission

    Posted

    No always steady for the first one.. never like to spank it after I've done any work.. but like I said it was so annoying as it just kept slipping but then after a decent steady drive it was spot on.. you'll need to do it with some traffic too.. get a bit of stop start in.. it'll be fine.. I'd never had the issue with any other cars I'd changed a clutch on they were all fine from the off.. just the vr.. ??

    Not a charged vr but I had to do a gearbox change after mine blew a hole in the casing.. and it needed about 500 miles to fully settle.. it would slip with power.. it was so frustrating.. I was racking my brain and about to pull the box out again but didn't have time before I had to take the car on a decent run.. it was fine after that tho.. Peddle was also a lot lighter than with the old one.. think it was a Sachs clutch..

    No worries dude.. sorry I can't be more help.. it was last august I did mine before the retrorides gathering.. I lent it to my cousin while we worked on his MX.. he had it 2 weeks and blew a hole in the box... as far as I remember tho it's all straight forward.. nothing needed chopping.. Thinking about the gear mech I'm sure I just unbolted the tower off the box and just swapped it over .. clutch was a vr.. can't remember if I swapped clutch fork.. the slave cylinder bolts on fine.. apart from the flanges that was it... A ball ache doing it on axle stands too...

    Yea all the cables matched up.. I broke the big black clip that holds it all together but they're cheap enough to buy again... All the holes match up.. I had to get some flanges from a golf I think as the shafts were 100mm and the flanges an the Bora box were 110mm.. apart from that it was a straight swap...

    I'm not overly keen on the new box.. I lost about 10 -15 mph top end but it does feel quicker.. you change gears more often too.. if it's a daily I'd not bother but for a track or weekend toy you'll be fine..

    Hi guys sorry for the late reply.. I didn't receive notifications.. sorry. 

     

    I'll get some more pictures up soon I've been busy doing repairs and show prep the last few days tho. 

     

    The car now has a v5 box from a Bora. A new clutch and inner c.v joint and she's finally behaving.. 

     

    Thanks for the welcome..
