- One of the interesting things about my clutch job from hell was that the clutch was the diaphram clutch used in a Volvo. I had heard that this was an acceptable method for getting an 8 1/2" disc and

- Been there and ended up taking the Volvo clutch cover back, what I ended up using was a MGB cover with the carbon throw out bearing receiver thing on it, did use the Volvo disc. I got my cover from

- The Volvo clutch throwout bearing is a ball race and runs on a guide tube around the gearbox input shaft. This type of clutch is totally incompatable with the Rootes carbon throwout bearing. If you w

- The MGB cover and Volvo plate works well is cheaper and easier to get, I also think the quality of the MG/Volvo parts is better. Sorting the combination of pivot block and release arm is the only dif

- The load on the clutch is not only a factor of horsepower. The weight of the vehicle has a large effect on clutch life. We used a small Ford zephyr clutch behind a high performance 283 Chev in a Mk 3

- You are correct in that weight of the car affects the clutch life. It is equal with that of the torque of the engine. The coeifficent of friction, caused by the springs in the clutch and the "sticki

- Lou and piners, I had a 7.5 inch clutch (brand new) in a 1725 with stock mechanics, but running fuel injection. The added torque was all it needed to begin slipping the clutch at WOT. When the clutch

- First you need to have an early flywheel SII or III [not a SI]and I would take it to the machine shop and have them chuck it up in the brake lath and peel a few pounds off it then balance the thing,
