The stock clutch for a late Volare is slightly bigger. They accomplished this by putting a small spacer tube between the head of the pressure plate bolts and the pressure plate itself. This makes makes the bolt narrower where the bolt heads would interfere with the disk. The heads sit up beyond the thickness of the disk. I got these spacers from NAPA as a factory replacement part for the Volare pressure plate bolt kit. It is not much narrower, but just enough to not snag and stop the disk from spinning independently.

When I first put this car together, the clutch would not disengage. I thought bolts were catching on the pressure plate, and installed the kit described. In this case, the problem was that the throw out bearing was travelling so far, it was interfering with the pressure plate release fingers, and pushing them into the clutch disk springs, thus keeping the disk spinning evenwith the clutch pedal pushed. It took several days to figure this out. All is different now with the five speed. I just thought this little piece of history might help someone out there.

There is an article in the articles section with some good info on SL6 clutch options.

Yes. That's where I read about it. I was hoping for some hands on, experienced user comments in direct relation to the original flywheel and what you can actually do with it.

Thanks

Ross,

I have several new clutch sets and one new rebuilt, all in packaging. Cheap.
