Hi y'all.
In the last few weeks i have been making a lot of headway on my spit. Now i
am ready to attatch the transmission...but things were going way to smoothly to
be true and lo and behold another problem.
When the previous owner gave me the car in boxes, i was given one
transmission (i checked the serial numbers and it does belong to a Mk. 3), one
flywheel and two clutches with pressure plates. One clutch is a 6-12" dia. and
the other is 7-1/4" dia. The pressure plate assemly that fits onto the
flywheel that i have is the 7-1/4" clutch assembly. HOWEVER...the center of
that clutch has 20 teeth on the inside but the transmission has only 10. The
6-1/2" clutch plate has 10 as well and works with the transmission, but that
assembly does not match up to the flywheel.
So here is my question. Do i have to:
1) buy a new flywheel to accomodate the 6-1/2" clutch assembly?
2) is it possible to use the 6-1/2" clutch plate with the 7-1/4" pressure plate?
3) can i buy a 7-1/4" clutch plate with 10 teeth on the inside instead of 20?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I want to get the engine in the car
and running as soon as possible so i know whether to start painting it or not.
Thanks in advance. Y'all are always such a big help.
Dave
