Input Shaft
1. Buy a New clutch and pressure plate 2. Remove gearbox 3. remove old clutch and pressure plate 4. fit new clutch and pressure plate 5. fit gearbox 6. Drive
Clutch disc? If this is what you are asking, it looks like a plate with an abrasive surface on both sides. In the center is a "splined" hole. Hope this helps
No big job mate. Gearbox to be removed. The last car to change a clutch without moving the gearbox was a Vauxhall Cavalier 1998/99.
It sandwiches the clutch friction plate to the flywheel. The flywheel is connected to the engine, the friction plate is connected to the gearbox. Strong springs inside the cover plate hold the friction plate firmly to the flywheel. When the clutch lever is operated, springs in the cover plate are compressed, thus releasing the pressure on the friction plate, disengaging the gearbox from the engine.
the input shaft has splines on it which connect to the clutch friction plate.
theres a problem with the cvt - gearbox. apparently theres been a change from a 5 plate clutch to a 7 plate clutch so you have to basically get a new gearbox and if its one of those multitronic ones then you are looking at around £2000 for a second hand one. get rid of the car if you can, and avoid buying any with a cvt gearbox. theres a problem with the cvt - gearbox. apparently theres been a change from a 5 plate clutch to a 7 plate clutch so you have to basically get a new gearbox and if its one of those multitronic ones then you are looking at around £2000 for a second hand one. get rid of the car if you can, and avoid buying any with a cvt gearbox.
a pressure plate works by springs. when disengaged the tension is released from the springs which hold the clutch plate against the flywheel,allowing the clutch plate to spin free,which basically stops the transfer of power from engine to gearbox when clutch is engaged the tension is reapplied to springs in pressure plate forcing the clutch plate against the flywheel
how old is the astra? but more importantly what engine and gearbox does it have? early engines with certain manual gearboxes you can change the clutch without removing the gearbox and subsequently saving about 4hours labour time. otherwise it is a gearbox outjob.
yes ! either seal from crankshaft (engine)or gearbox drive-shaft seal on bearing can wear out. if so oil will spray around inside bell-housing and will get on to clutch plate/pressure plate and flywheel - replace clutch (suggest clutch kit -clutch-plate/pressure-plate and thrust bearing) you MUST also replace seal or is WILL happen again. also check engine oil and gearbox oil levels - it came from somewhere!!
The 1995 Escort clutch has a single dry plate diaphragm spring type clutch. The clutch plate has a splined hub which allows it to slide along the splines on the input shaft. The clutch and pressure plate are held in contact by spring pressure exerted by the diaphragm spring in the pressure plate. During shifting when the clutch pedal is depressed, which transmits hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the release cylinder, pushing on the release lever so the throwout bearing pushes on the diaphragm spring fingers, disengaging the clutch.
To change the clutch on a Ford Capri, first, disconnect the battery and secure the vehicle on jack stands. Remove the gearbox by detaching the drive shafts, exhaust, and any necessary components. Once the gearbox is out, unbolt the old clutch from the flywheel, clean the surface, and install the new clutch plate and pressure plate. Finally, reassemble the gearbox and other components in reverse order, ensuring everything is securely fastened before reconnecting the battery.
May be clutch cable sticking, clutch lever on the gearbox sticking or the actual friction plate in the clutch sticking on the shaft. the latter would probably mean taking the gearbox out to check. The clutch lever on box is easily oiled but usually the return from a clutch is great enough to pull it back but check anyway.
