Exedy Install Problems
Okay so i had to replace my stock clutch cause it was done...
So i buy the Exedy Hyper Single Stage 3 but the dealership thats installing it for me (took it there cause i tried to get them to warrenty my stock one) called me today saying that it doesn't fit... they say its only going on half way...
They told me the inside friction disc wont go in right and its causing it to go on only half way. they have the sub frame out the tranny out the axels out, everything... they say they have 3 tech who have been working on tranny's and clutches for 20 years. and they cant get it to go on
So i called Exedy and spoke to a tech and he said it sounds like install error because if it was the wrong clutch it wouldnt fit at all.... so i got the dealership to talk to the tech and then the dealership called me back and just say... yeah its not gonna fit. send it back.... but i coudlnt get hold of the tech again to verrify what they had said.
so i have no idea what to do and i have no money left...
Does this sound like install error or is the clutch been made wrong?
Thanks.

could you please let me know how you did it?
cause as far as i know, no one is having this problem... so either exedy made this one wrong or my dealership doesnt know how to do it

Are they saying there is no room in the bellhousing for it? Did they use the alignment tool to line up the teeth. Are they rotating the axle to get it all to line up.

i think he said that. but he said the inside friction plate is not fitting in, then asked if he can grind down the teeth, im asuming its the teeth on the fly wheel unless the frictin plate has teeth?
i dont know im not good with cars, only computers lol
i dont really know what they have and havnt done to try and install it as i havnt been there.
if someone could put together a little list of things you have to do to installl it properly that would be really good
im thinking about telling them to put my old one in and ill take it to some one who has done many exedy installs... but i cant even afford to pay them there install let alone another install.

Three things in clutch lingo....flywheel, clutch disc and pressure plate. I'm assuming that they are talking about the flywheel. You do have to spin the flywheel to get the flywheel bolt holes to align perfectly with the crank. It seems like they won't align but they will. I installed my hyper single in my home garage and had no problems.

I did something really stupid once during a clutch install and I bet that's what they did too. I was bymyself in a hurry to get the car back together and I couldn't get the input shaft to slide into the clutch disc. I ended up trying too hard cause damage to the splines in the disc and slightly bending it.
Yeah really stupid I know lol But it happens
