I’ve done this in a mk2 with a meg 5th gear on 16’s. Big ‘ol testicles on the way to schwedenkreuz wondering why it had started popping and banging. Then I twigged. @8000rpm. 😂😂😂😂😂
Well the Sachs has got to be the only way forward now imo. That gearbox casing near where the driveshaft goes on to the diff won’t take much more before it goes through and scraps the box.
The valeo clearly can’t cope with the punishment it’s getting in your application.
I did the v10 m5 ring lap with 2 mates and Sabine. We drifted literally f**king EVERYWHERE and I was hanging my head out the back window ready to barf (shockingly bad as a passenger! 😂). But she kept her foot in and was laughing at me trying to throw up lol! Went sub 8 with Sabine.
A lot of the flywheels are cnc machined mate - they all come from ttv, and I’ve sold a lot of them without issue in the past. So if there is an issue with it, there’s 100% a batch of faulty ones out there lol
Yes I agree, but I’ve seen more clutch failures on these cars than I’ve had hot dinners. With the gripper in there as well, everything’s under more load too.
The only one that seems to last is the Sachs clutch that pms offer. Not cheap, but it removes the common denominator for issues.
If it’s the flywheel, it’s the first one I’ve seen. If it’s a clutch issue, I don’t have enough fingers to count on the amount of issues I’ve seen with them. Lol
Did you fit the clutch plate the correct way round? Sometimes they have a flywheel side/pressure plate side - just an off the top of my head thought mate.
Only other thing can be the release bearing has failed, but get a magnet on it asap! If that swarf is aluminium, it’s the strap on the...
The best crank to use is the early ph1 crank. It’s the heaviest out of the lot and looks to be forged.
That new one in your picture is the ph2 172 crank. I’d toss that in the bin as it’s not even any use as a paperweight.
I’ve only ever seen the same rods in the mk2/mk3 Clio Rs range tbh. Mk2...
@sbtvr500 you have to be a paid member to post items for sale mate. It’s about £12 for membership and should be easy enough to recoup that from the breaker you have. 👍🏻
