Car Forum / MINI / November 2003Verto Clutch?
1994 Cooper 1.3i, just refitted power unit after gearbox rebuild, is it possible to fit the clutch centre plate the wrong way round? I have some more clutch related questions but need to get this one out of the way first!

It is possible to fit the friction plate the wrong way around. The effect is that the clutch will not dis-engage, because it is being forced up against the back plate.

I have been able to drive it but all the clutch action is at the limit of the travel.
