Thanks, I saw that tool tool. I might just buy it and hope I catch someone at the local deal on one of their good days. Plus, dont know who would actually steal a 20yr old radio anyways. I only want it cus I cant stand the aftermarket look.
[quote=”barneyb” post=122149]I bought a flywheel for the DSM I used to own. Well, midyear they changed the engine design in minor ways. One way was that they changed the number of bolts in the flywheel. When the order arrived guess which flywheel I got? Anyway, they looked identical to me even though the old one had six holes and the new seven. An hour later I finally figured out why I couldn’t mount the flywheel.
So, anyway, if I understand what you are saying, you ended up with extra flywheel bolts. If you notice in Eric’s videos he sometimes ends up with the wrong parts too.
Another possible problem is you put the disc in backwards. Anyway, just because they say it fits doesn’t necessarily mean it fits.[/quote]
I ended up with 3 (not 2) extra PP to flywheel bolts, not Flywheel to crank bolts. So i looked up the flywheel and PP I bought for my car and according to all the info and pics I found, the luk PP bolts to the FW with 6 bolts and the one I replaced had 9. Oh well, it was a free car and it works now, so I guess i wont get too bent outta shape about it. Just gotta decide weather to go forward with refurbishing it into a DD or to cut my loses

Hey all,
So i finally got it adjusted correctly. Dont know what I did differently this time, but it worked, Guess thats all that matters.Think I might just cut my losses with this car. It sat way too long and needs everything from brakes and bearings, to cv shafts, to body work, to new interior . Might just be better if I just let her go

Well I am very lost. I checked with Luk and i purchased the correct parts, I have no crankwalk, and remember checking disk direction when i installed it and there was no way to bolt on PP if it as backwards. also the peddle and linkage dont appear to be stretched or anything ….. wow I am lost

It might be linkage, but the old clutch was shifting fine prior to the replacement, minus the ridiculous slipping due to the friction disk being past the rivets.

this is what I bought
LUK 08-017 CLUTCH KIT
Clutch Flywheel LUK LFW225they both said they were correct for my car/trans

when i bought the clutch i triple and quadruple checked that it was the right one. It even was built like the one i removed minus the bolt pattern.
I guess i used the wrong term. I was referring to the clutch arm that the cable is attached to on the out side of the transmission. When that adjusting nut is all the way screwed up there is a little play like in erics video (same car and transmission) but i cant actuate the arm like in the video.

Thanks, I will try the junk yards, but the yards in the MA area are just skeletons of cars that have already had every resellable piece pulled, marked up, and cataloged. and the cars only last about a mouth or two before the crusher. Ill try though.
I have done some comparing between gen 3 and my gen 2 tegs, and the hatch seems to use the same size and shape seal at least. Guess it cant hurt to try
