getrag solid conversion problems HAALP!

[royinthegreyshirt]

Hi everyone. I'm having problems. I'm using a stock ecotec t5 flywheel, a getrag clutch and a t5 pressure plate on a getrag gearbox. After getting the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate on the engine and bolted up the gearbox. Hand cranked the engine (to make sure everything is sweet) and found that the outside of the pressure plate is hitting the getrag bell housing when I crank the engine. What have I done wrong? Help!

could it be that you are using t5 gear in the getrag box?

You need the getrag smf kit. T5 stuff isn't compatible unforunately

I've ordered a kit from NPC. Unfortunately, I've already had paid to get the setup rebuilt.
The poor man always pays twice.

Have you tried using the Getrag pressure plate? Actuation will probably be wrong for the T5 pressure plate anyway as it was a cable clutch.

The getrag pressure plate is half an inch smaller then the getrag flywheel. I'd have to drill out bolt holes for the pressure plate to be bolted to it. You live, you learn, you waste money.
