i know that we share some of the g2 eclipse/4g63t engineering in the beta engines, but how much? would a clutch for this engine bolt up the flywheel/crank for a g2 beta? just curious, as i'll be going turbo soon and and researching clutches now. when i was doing the swap, i found out that we share the same clutch alignment tool. i realize this means about nothing when compared with the bolt and thread pattern needed for the clutch to bolt up to the crank, but i think it's worth throwing in there. smile.gif

sorry the DSM clutch won't fit,
our pressure plate are a "pull" type, wich means that when you press on the clutch pedal the slave cylinder will pull on the pressure plate diaphrag
on the DSM when you push on the pedal the slave cylinder will push on the pressure plate diaphrag
the mounting of the pressure plate to the flywheel is completely different
The disc it self might fit if it's the same size and uses the same splines
cluthc master,Spec,Key motorsports have clutch ready for us ACT is developping one

 

ya, i know of the clutches available and of the act clutch in progress. i was just curious of the eclipse clutch. i figured it wouldn't work, or others would have tried it, but there's no harm in asking. smile.gif

 

The 1.6 Beta has a "push" type clutch. smile.gif

 

I think the beta 1.6L uses the alpha transmision.


and the alpha transmission uses a pull type.


It should not be hard to convert a tranny for push type.

 

the accent also use the push type clutch
i didn't say you couldn't convert to a push type clutch, but what's the point to convert it when we already have a couple of options for good bolt on clutches?

 

Well, it woudl depends if BETA tranny gears fit into the accent tranny.

I never said you said it would not be hard to convert

and yeah I know the accent is a push type, I just mentioned it tongue.gif

 

install the beta gears in the alpha case?
why for? to get the push type? why not just convert the fork and slave cylinder,it might be much "easier" then trying to fit the gears in the alpha case
looks like i missed the alpha part of your post...

 

the thing is...if the alpha tranny works. thats great.


But now you got short gears, for 105hp motor. and gear with quality for 105hp.


thats why you would wanan swap gears around.

 

woooo you mean swap the whole tranny or swap thre tibby gears in the alpha tranny?
even swapping the complete tranny isn't logical or money wise....
you're going to buy a new clutch, a tranny, halfshafts,shjifter linkage,slave cylinder, fork,

instead of just buying a bolt on clutch?

sure if you want a bit more acceleration it might be worth it, but why not use the older 1.8 tranny then or buy a new final drive?

BTW, the original question in this post was about if yes or no the DSM clutch would fit
