Correct Clutch?

360beast · Jun 3rd, 2012, 23:37

I found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Volvo-...item5893db62de
But when I typed in the part number given on google it came up as a clutch for a vauxhall.
Is it the right clutch?

I have found that a lot ( most ) of the clutches offered on e-bay for 300 series cars are NOT OEM standard , ie they have a smaller clutch plate ! make sure it is 216 mm diameter

If i could be arsed and i had better tools my grey car only had 160 on the clutch but it'd be a huge mish to get it out. 4 axle stands as high as i can them on a gravel driveway. Not too keen.

No longer after a 360 clutch as a read on 300mania that standard 360 clutch craps itself after 150hp and the B230ET I'm putting in has 182hp so need to know what clutch and pressure plate to use.

Try the sachs website, its has loads of technical details of clutchs and plates.

You need the B230ET flywheel and cover plate (presume this is not dual mass and fits), preferably uprated cover plate then find a suitable plate with the right diameter and the right spline connection for the 360 driveshaft.

I thought some VW van plate looked close for me.

Its a bit of work, so publish the results please!

When I finally get all the parts I need and start to build it there will definitely be a project thread.
So far I have the car with thanks to Logan360 now runs sweet, the B230ET engine (complete with ecu and loom) and B230ET flywheel. So all I need now is the correct pressure plate, clutch and an engine crane.
Oh and a garage that can actually fit a car in it, ahhh this is but a pipe dream.

According to this the 360 clutch can handle around 270 Nm of torque.
It says that by using a 740 turbo pressure plate with the 360 clutch it can handle around 400Nm of torque.
So perhaps just by combining the 360 clutch + 740 turbo pressure plate + B230ET flywheel I could run it like that.
What are peoples thoughts?

What do folks use for a centring mandrell?

Eyesight. I can line them up by eye much better than any clutch alignment tool I've used.

Never had anything to do with clutches before but I was just going to go by eyesight.
