Sach clutch fitted but....

<< < (10/17) > >>

anorganix:
They're going to replace all parts except for the bearing although only the cover was weak.

ok so my probably poor knowledge

wouldnt that infer that the clutch would engage easier/slip more likely to occur
but most importantly would that not suggest the opposite to what in theory would be  needed for poor ability to change gear at high rpm? (excessive clamping load)

or is my asssement to simplistic?

Im trying to reconcile Sachs reply with the initial symptoms which to me dont match.

anorganix:
A weak clamping force is the reason for fast gear change failure at high rpm.
I think that his problem will be solved with this replacement, but I guess we'll just wait and see until it's on the car again.

Cheers mates!

paulk:
had my  sachs clutch in last week...only done 200 miles so far ..no boost just nice steady driving.It feels a tad lumpy pulling of but other than that it feels fine..fingers crossed its up to the job when the map goes back on

fuscobal:
Clutch is here. I will install it next week and report back. If it works fine I will get drunk (It's probably the 7th time when I'm pulling out the clutch since I've got the car) !
