LuK Clutch

["dmcnorway" <delorean@xxxx>]

Thanks for the info Mark.
I also tried www.luk.de and voila! The website of the mentioned 
company. Now, I'd like to know how many splines the gearbox input 
shaft has. You mention 10 or 21 splines.

Well, I have an Nov built DeLorean, with a 5-speed manual 
transmission. Do you know how many splines for this one?

I can't really take the gearbox apart and then order the correct 
clutch. I'd like to order it now, and get the job done the same day.

Best wishes
Stian

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.
