zacward Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have a 78Z, got a new clutch from the dealer (not the key value but the actual oem parts) and when i got it all back together there was a grinding noise between clutch engage/disengagement so I pulled the trans back out and the rivets on the disc hub were running against the inside rivets on the pressure plate.. Anyone ever seen that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Not really sure what you mean by rivets. I don't see any projecting rivets on my spare clutch disc and can't imagine any projecting in from the pressure plate to where they might rub. Pictures? (damaged parts are always fun to look at). I have rubbed the springs in a clutch hub on the flywheel bolts when I put it in backward. That was a small block chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stravi757 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 There are rivets on the clutch disk, but no rivets on the flywheel. Sounds like you may have put the clutch disk in backwards as NewZed mentioned, pushing the springs on the clutch disk against the flywheel bolts.
