Can't Wait for 949 Clutch Anymore
#104
I forgot to drop it at the machine shop and took a gamble, figuring i could live with some shuddering and noise if i had to for a couple months before tearing the car down this winter again. THIS wasn't something i would have expected though.

It can.
It's not LIKELY that i did such a thing, having done a clutch or dozen before and never made this mistake, largely due to the large stickers clutch manufacturers put on them that say "THIS SIDE TOWARDS FLYWHEEL," but it's a possibility. I did not double check this, as it's been something that i haven't had an issue with.
But hey, if that's the case, i'll definitely let you guys know i did that and you can all point and laugh at my expensive and time consuming mistake. Looks like i'm dumping another $40 of trans fluid on Friday.

or get/make a tailshaft plug and no need to loose any trans fluid. I could send you mine to borrow if time wasnt an issue, offer stands either way.

We might actually have a lift available for a hundo or so of my dollhairs. If so, we're talking a 2 hour job, plus whatever it takes to get the flywheel resurfaced. I don't want to spend money, but i also don't feel like doing this job on my back in my driveway and wouldn't want to subject you to that. If we can knock this out quick, then we have better chance of knocking out rollbar.

A step forward towards closure: The clutch disc is defective because my luck is super awesome.
All four pads thicker than spec. 3 of them slightly, 1 of them big time.
ACT sending me a new disc, but might not be here until Tuesday, which is not so awesome, considering i leave Wednesday morning.
