Clutch problem!!

HI

I am new to this forum.

I just bought a used Hks twin plate clutch for my fd3s but it dosenīt fit.

I have found out that it is for the fd3c model. Is there any way i can make it fit my car. I think the problem is the flywheel? hope someone can help me.

Sorry if my english is bad, i am whriting from denmark.

thanks
Morten

I think he's saying the clutch is for an FC but he has an FD so he's looking for a way to make it work.

I believe the clutch for the FC and FD are dirfferent in that the FD is a pull type and the FC is a push type. I would think it much easier to just put the correct one on it than change everything just to make it work.

I think there is a kit out there to convert the fork on the pull type transmission housing into a push type. Anyone know the name of this company?

It looks like the fc flywheel uses a larger center bolt than the fd is that correct. I canīt mount the flywheel.

You're screwed. I'd just get a clutch for an FD.

Aren't the center bolts (if your talking about the eccentric shaft) the same for an FC to FD motor?

Yes that is correct. The input shaft on the FC tranny is larger than the FD. It is easier to get another clutch and flywheel. I have a Mazdaspeed twinplate if you want to buy it (Pm me if interested).
