6 bolt swapped
I bought a used fidenza 6 bolt, new valeo street disc and reused my old ACT 2600 PP. new flywheel bolts. torque with an electric impact rated to a little over 110ft/lbs. not ideal but its all i had and gave the bolts a good hammering.
I bleed my clutch line. Fork had a good 3/4 inch movement when clutch pedal pressed in.
When the engine is running, I can not make it go into any gear. I adjusted my clutch rod quite a bit. Still not disengaging.
So i decided to start my car in first gear. It starts and dosnt move. Ok, good news-ish.. I slowly let go of the clutch and it grabs almost right away. Ok, not so good, but makes sense given current situation. I push my clucth pedal all the way in, and decide to give it some revs. I get to 3500rpm and BAM. car jerks forward like i just dumped the clutch ans stalls. Pedal won't come back.
I take a look under the car, and my slave cylinder casting snapped in half where it bolts to the tranny.
Why is my clutch not disengaging? and why did my slave exert such a force on the fork that it made it snap?
Are my flywheel bolts not torqued enough causing my clutch assembly to "float"?
Used flywheel would mean if anything, that the step height would be to deep and I would have the reverse problem, correct?
Did I install my clutch disc on backwards?
Is this valeo stock replacement disc to thick?
