My other alternative is to install another bell housing plate so it will push it out 2mm out more.He is also going to skin a little of the Flywheel and this should stop the scraping.I believe it was about 1/8of an inch or 4mm of damage inside the Bell Housing.
Do you think its a good idea that he does this set up?

 

well...you will need a new bellhousing either way. and a new pressure plate...just make sure HVE or the makers of the Pressure plate pay for everything.

 

Im not really sure what you meant from your last post sad.gif
Can i reuse the original bellhousing thats on their already?
Im going to have 2 bellhousing plates installed.
If HVE doesnt send me another pressre plate i cant reuse the old one?
HVE should be liable for all LAbour charges,but doubt their are going to pay

 

HVE is a reputable company, I'm sure they will work something out with you. Either send you $$$, or give you the equivelant in free product.

if it only ground away 1/8" of an inch, the belhousing is still structurally sound more or less, but I would still press them for a new one if they are paying. It is their mess up. I would NOT reuse that pressure plate. If that puppy goes...your whole tranny can be toast...or you can just be stuck in gear (or out!).

Again, I suggest you get a conference call, going with your shop and HVE (or use multiple phones on the same line from the auto shop. Explain your concerns, and have the mechanic explain HIS concerns...and see what HVE comes up with.

I contacted HVE several times and their response is that the manufacture that makes the clutch has not got back to them in regard to the problem.I cant wait any longer my car has been in the shop for over a week now.
Im just going to do what the machanic suggested.Install two belhousing plates and also an additional cylinder block plate (which is the other half) and this just bring it out 2mm out more.
The condition of the pressure plate in fine.Just a minor paint scape in the inner circle of the plate
Also since the starter in bolted onto the tranny he has to bring that in 2mm and by doing that he will remove one of the plates.
Do you think its a good idea that hes doing this?

 

Does a throwout bearing make noise when the clutch is engaged or disengaged? I thought it made noise when disengaged.

 

If they are willing to do the work, I guess I would have them do the work. I would get HVE to agree to PAY for the work first though. If HVE's supplier is not getting back to them, tell HVE that is not YOUR problem. You didn't buy the part from the supplier, you bought it from HVE...so HVE should handle it and THEY should eventually work it out with their supplier after the fact...

I spoke with Bretton at HVE and they said that the supplier didnt make a mistake when he made the clutch kit.
There saying that my machanic didn't install a cylinder block plate(SHIM) and thats what caused it to scrap inside the bell housing.I explained to him that i had to purchase another plate and i have 2 plates installed and the noise is gone?
I got my car back today and everything is smooth.No scaping noise at idle.That extra plate installed solved the problem!!
Im so pissed off the HVE wont cover me for Labour or meet me half way.They think the plate was never installed and thats their fault not there manufactures.
I called severeal times and they never returned my phone calls.
This is their fault and they should cover my Labour but they REFUSE TO.He said he will get back to me and no answer.GRRRRRRR
Im NEVER DEALING WITH THEM AGAIN

 

Keep e-mailing and calling. They will get back to you sooner or later. What was the total labor bill? Were instructions for the shim included with the clutch? Was the shim included in the kit?

If the answer is no to both...then HVE is liable, and should pay.

 

A cylinder Block shim was not included in the kit?
I never new it came with it,just a Dealer part!!
They refuse to agree that there was a Cylinder Block Plate and Bell housing plate in the first place,and the damage was caused by my machanic that did the install.I explained to them that it was installed and i had to put another Cylinder block plate and belhousing plate and im currently running 2 of them of each.They also had to skim off 1mm inside the bellhousing!!!
They refuse to cover my labour for $500CAN around $300US and they said i cant prove that there was a plate installed in the first place.
They are giving me the Run around!!
I keep calling and the same response what should i do??????
