I have put this tranny in and out about 12 times, ill break it down as simple as possible. I put a new motor in decided to put the tranny in speceratly. Since my old ACT PP was getting old i bought a new ACT 6 puck cluch and am attempting to put it in, i also got the flywheel machined. I mount the PP and Disk on the Flywheel (hub on disk facing out.) Jack the tranny up and line up the spline with the pilot bearing and slide it in. I get all the bolts started and tighten the down. I got to turn the Flywheel to tighen the PP bolts and the motor is locked up. So i back off the bolts a bit about 2-3 threads and it will turn but with some force. I can hear the PP scrapping against the bell housing as you turn it around. If you tighten it back up the motor locks up again. So i pulled the tranny and i can see the scrapes on the bell housing. Its like the PP is sitting to far back words in the bell housing. There are only 2 1/2 threads showing on the Flywheel nut and the eccentric shaft nut is still tight. What else can cause the PP to rub on the bell housing. I also messure the depth of the PP and they are idnetical. What the #$%! am i missing and doing wrong, please help im going to go insain!!! Ok maybe to late. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Marc

did you ever find out what was wrong cause now i have the exact same problem after installing new motor. called rob whit pineappleracing and am waiting for his responce.

 

did you engage the dowell pins into the holes in the PP . You should be able to start all the 6 bolts even if the PP is rubbing the bell housing .

 

yes it was stupidity, i hate to admit it but the unsprung disk was installed backwords, i always did sprung and it was alot easier to see which side was the flywheel side. hope this helps!!

 

hopefully this is all there is two it....stupidity...installed backwards
i put clutch to the flywheel used the alinment tool mounted the pressure plate flush on all sides then mounted the trans all flush and junk. never did it lock up at all just heard a sound every 3/4 turn so 1 hit every revalotion. srub lightly
will try this weekend as it is dark by the time i get off
thanks for the responce

mmonaco did you ever sell the laptop stand for e6k i need it and what does it mount to?

 

no its still for sale it mounts to the floor its a little something I put together.

 

aren't you bolting the pressure plate down before you put the trans up? if not the pressure plate won't be flush against the flywheel and could cause the rubbing.

you said you had to turn the flywheel to tighten the pressure plate bolts, why wouldn't you have it bolted down all the way before you put the trans in?

 

Problem was solved. He stated he had the clutch disk installed backwards.

 

got that much, but still confused as to why wouldn't you have the pressure plate bolted down completely before putting the trans back up?

 

in my case i installed everything correct just have something (pp) scrubing inside the housing.
i will take it apart this weekend and redo it again clutch face facing the other way and if it srcubs then i dont know.

should be criss cross pattern and tight as spec can get. everything is pulled up secure.even
thanks

 

if I recall correctly, the ACT instructions I saw said 33 ft/lbs on the pressure plate bolts. But that was on a Ford Probe GT. So, check your instructions for a torque specification.

 

ok
thanks
