Clutch time redo

[kenthompson]

Well,

It turns out that the noise was the pilot bearing turning inside the crankshaft. The clutch was fine, the throwout bearing was fine.

I could have put a new pilot bearing in and been done two weeks ago.

Course, I had to put the Fidenza in.....

Now, the pressure plate that I bought (Valeo) was about .200" thinner than the original. I thought that was curious, but maybe it was right.

Then, when I went to put it back together, the transmission didn't want to go in. After MUCH consternation and cussing, I figured out the new throwout bearing had a plastic bushing inside that was preventing the transmission from homing. Put in the old throwout bearing, and away it went.

I read somewhere that the nose cose on the transmission is larger on the ZR1 Transmission than the regular C4.

Does this mean I've got a clutch for a regular C4?
