clutch size?

[D.Wars]

Hi,

Today I orderd at the carpartsstore a new clutch for my car.
They searched on serial number and came up with 2 clutches.
Do you know why the 4age has 2 diffrent clutch types?





you can see that the clutch on the rightside a tiny bit larger is.
We're talking about a 1985 4a-ge 16v.

I have a -90 AE92 GT-i "red top" small port head and there is 212mm clutch, also I have a -89 AE92 GT-i with T-VIS head and there is 200mm clutch.

you can switch the sizes..but you need the pressureplate as well as far as i know

The AE86 comes with 200mm clutch.
You can use any 4AGE (not GZE!) flywheel/clutch combo - either 200 or 212mm.

Actually no you can´t.
If you want change the clutches, you have the change also the flywheel.
I just measured it.

Left one is 200mm , right one is 212mm

212mm pressure plate on 200mm flywheel (where is the flywheel ? )

today I installed the new clutch, it was the 212mm clutch.

But when I drove the car I noticed a little, but noticeable vibration from 2k rpm till 3k rpm. At more rpm the engine takes over the vibration.

I used a pre-historic alligment tool to allign the clutch with the flywheel and pressureplate. As far I could see it was fairly in line with the pressureplate and flywheel. Could the vibrating be an result of a very small off balans from the clutch? Can i do much harm?

last question . Is there a breaking in period for the new clutch?

cheers!

Yes. And if you glaze the friction plate - you will buy new clutch shortly
