Car Forum / MINI / May 2005What type of clutch ??
Hi All 1995 1275 Rover Mini Sidewalk can anyone advise what type of clutch is fitted to this mini, Verto or none Verto, Thanks Fitzy Verto, fitted from 1983 onwards I think, don't ask if I have a clutch puller :-) I lent it to someone in Whitchurch & never got it back, Steve. > Hi All > 1995 1275 Rover Mini Sidewalk > can anyone advise what type of clutch is fitted to this mini, Verto or > none Verto, > Thanks > Fitzy Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply, I have just had a email from Clive,,, another mini enthusiast,, he has basically said the same as you, Verto,,, Are the clutch pullers the same for Verto and none Verto, Thanks (how's the S doing these days) Fitzy > Verto, fitted from 1983 onwards I think, don't ask if I have a clutch > puller :-) I lent it to someone in Whitchurch & never got it back, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> Thanks >> Fitzy Yes, the puller should come with 2 sets of bolts, one for the early flywheels & one for the later ones, the S is fine, sort of hibernating, I got a bare mk 1 shell now in Surrey laid up, so you never know what may be around the corner!!

I know I didnt once and got a hell of a lot of vibration until the clutch let go!!!!!! > well after a bit of a struggle getting the flywheel off, > I finally fitted the clutch, only to find there is a slight vibration when [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >>>>> Thanks >>>>> Fitzy Yep, Bolt tightened to 112 lb ft, and washer was bent in to correct positions, I think I may have cracked the flywheel when I used a drift to impact it from the starter hole, I am going to remove the complete assembly again, and inspect every component, looks like the weekend is the only chance I will have, due to other commitments, I will come back and let the group know what I find, Thanks for the input Fitzy > Did you put the locking washer/tab over on the big bolt on the end of the > crankshaft?
