Well today i went to supercheap auto and was shocked at how cheap i new clutch is going to be. So i have one problem

Is the clutch i need to get, have to have self aligning bearings?

these are the part numbers i have
SZK-6948 standard (self aligning bearing) $138
SZK-6332 Standard $115

SZK-6948HD Heavy Duty (self aligning bearing) $165
SZK-6332HD Heavy Duty $227

So any help?

[royce]

1st up I dont think they are Daikin (Exedy) numbers so steer clear, other brands slip or give a very heavy pedal that snaps cables and arms

do you have a 4 speed? if so should be non self aligning, and go for the heavy duty if you plan on fitting bigger tires without a rockhopper

[Ashley]

yeah i have the 4 speed. might check on the brand name some time during the week. and ask around for more prices.

[suzukikid]

Definatly not the exedy ones!

I'm just going through getting one for mine!

The exedy one(heavy duty)is

szk6288hd but at super cheap there $265 but i ended up getting mine for $200!

[royce]

Richmonds is a 1 litre, so it might be exedy, they might have changed numbers

[Ashley]

yep. just checked out the exedy web site. and their parts catalogue and they are exedy parts.

Just got my clutch then!

It's pink!

I'll let you know how it go's!

[Ashley]

haha girls clutch.

You going to chuck it in yourself?

[suzukikid]

I got pink bits!

The guy over the road is a mechanis so he will help me out hopefully tommorow night!

[Ashley]

walked into bursons today and found out i know abloke that works there. Anyhow ordered a "clutch kit" in. Comes with a thrust bearing. anyone know what else it might come with?
cause the clutch plate by it self was only like $28

[Bruce]

usually get Clutch plate, Throwout bearing and pressure plate.

[Ashley]

we put one of those in my m8's LWB, great so far, a bit heavy but maby becuase I had been driving dad's xtrail for a while

[suzukikid]

Thats what i want to hear!

Doing it wednesday night just need to get the spiggot bearing because it didn't come in the kit!

[the_orb]

oh dear, wont know the long term details now, engine blew up on a trip, sigh

[Ashley]

OK this is the one that came out of it.



And this is what i got in the kit. The one on the left.




So they have given me the wrong bearing. Or is that one of those self aligning bearings?

[suzukikid]

Could be wrong but maybe thats the spiggot bearing i need that didn't come in my kit?

[royce]

you have to take the bearing off that carrier, don't think 1litres were one piece but its been a while

[Ashley]

I have had a look. I dont think it comes apart. They are not much alike. And on the box that the wrong one came it it says Release Bearing.

[Ashley]

Yay i now have the right bearing. Seems like my car did need a self aligning bearing.

[suzukikid]

Got my spiggot bearing today and it's the size of a 20c piece!

SHOULD HAVE THE BLOODY THING IN SOON!

[Ashley]

yeah i know. the hole in the middle of mine was tiny.

[suzukikid]

The clutch is in!

Very nice to drive a car with a clutch!

Just waiting for the wombat next weekend now!
