Fw: Clutch Problems



Hi Stian
 
Ref your clutch problem, I had previously sent an e-mail to the news group regarding this matter. Ignore the first bit as the member was asking the cause of clutch slip. Both my LHD & RHD D's have had these clutches fitted to them. There is a great improvement on engagement, no drag and the pedal is a lot lighter to operate.
 
Regards

Hi Guys
            There are many reason for a clutch to slip. Sometimes it could be lack of adjustment but since the DMC12 has a hydrolic system, thisis most unlikely.
            The other 3 reasons for clutch slip are:-
 1, Oil Contamination, either from a rear main oil seal or gearbox input shaft seal.
 2, The pressure plate has become weak which is due to fatigue regardless of mileage covered by the car.
 3, Worn out centre plate, which can also be induced by reason No 2.
 
            Reference to your question on which clutch is fitted to the DMC 12s. It is hard to says whether it is a Peugeot, Renault or Volvo, or a possible mixture of the three wouldn't surprise me.
 
            However, there is a German manufacture call L.U.K. that specialise in VW, Audi, Porsche etc. & do manufacture good quality clutches including one for the DMC12 as a kit. There are many many Car Spare Factors Shops in the GB that are agents of L.U.K..
 
            The part number is 624 147 800 & there are 2 types depending whether the gearbox input shaft has either 10 or 21 splines.  They do also have a technical assistance line on 0345 001 100 should you require further assistance.
 
Hope this is of help.
