What way round does a Clutch plate go?

[Mike_Shand]

as title really removed the old clutch but cant remember the way it came out does the thicker side of the clutch plate go towards the flywheel or the other way round?


Cheers Mike

certainly does matter!!!!

the center part protrudes more on one side, this faces AWAY from the flywheels

Doesn't it have a stamp or engravement saying something like 'flywheel this side'?

ever seen someone fit one the wrong way around?

A guy at a garage i used to work at did it once.
It was grinding on the flywheel bolts when he started it up.
pmsl, 'take the box out again you tw@t' was the foreman's response
