[Rovernet] 2000TC Flywheel - Clutch burned out

[Robert Ruggeri]

Mechanic is hung up on the direction of the beveled teeth.  He says mine face the engine and WINS' looks like it's facing the opposite.

I don't think it's wrong. Which way the bevel goes depends on the starter, and later cars had pre-engaged starters rather than plain bendix drive ones.

Hi Bob,
   That seems quite strange that Win's would have a pressure plate with the bevel's facing to the rear. Did you send them an email asking about it?
Cheers,
Gord

Hi All:

Clutch on 71 Series II Federal 2000TC P6 is burned up.   Mechanic says that the clearance on the pressure plate is too big, but is not sure which part is responsible.

Problem might also be that the flywheel was turned too much during an earlier repair.   Can source a new one at Win's, but we need one where the beveled teeth on the ring gear are facing the engine.  Win's is facing the other way.

Anyone have the right flywheel or any advice?

Bob
