I need to do my mantas clutch tomorrow, got a nice sprung paddle jobby from SBD, but i found out i might not have the correct flywheel on for it, i expected it to be a potted one, as its a late engine with blue injectors and diff cambelt, ie post 93/4.
i have rang my local scrappies to no avail, found a local place, just vauxhall parts, nr newcastle airport, the guy said he aint got one in, but does have an ecotek one, which he thinks is the same as the late XE one.
i need confirmation of this as it would be £30 down the drain.
the early flat fly is lighter, stick with it
the paddle plate wil fit fine
its only the clutch cover thats different, so either refit the one thats on there or exchange the one you bought for the early type
it wont help you, dont think the pot fly fits the manta box
it probably will like, but it still wont help you lmao way to try and turn a 30 min job into a 3 hour engineout fest

exchange it
and yeah it will be fine TBH, most people dont bother when its a sprung paddle thing as thats not really harsh like a proper clutch would be
wasnt sure about the bellhousing, the early setup isnt the same width at the rim at all, just in the centre. i did think it would fit tho, was just saying cos i have never seen a potted fly on a RWD ever
hmmmm, i am having problems engaging some gears, i know the box aint doin too well, so swappin it for a spare, also changin the propshaft as the uj's are shafted, creating play and the shaft is bouncin off the bottom of the car.
i cant tell exactly what is wrong tho, thats why i decided to change everything, plus with my upcoming mods, i wanted a decent clutch to take the power, this one is rated to 230bhp.
