1985 350x clutch frictions - ebc

[jays375]

I purchased a 350x with a new clutch.Wasn't long and the clutch was slipping.Tore it appart to find new fiber plates.Had used metal plates.You easily tell they weren't as new..Measured both and they were good.Clutch was adjusted properly also.I purchased a whole new clutch kit.Didn't know what fibers had been installed.Everything worked fine.Strongly suggest the whole new kit.The clutch will work so much smoother also.For the little extra money,good insurance.Look what a gasket will cost,times two.You hunt around some and clutch kits can be very reasonably priced.

The hardest spec to get is the "warped" dimension. You need a piece of flat glass on a good table and use a nice set of feeler gauges all the way around...

Just to update, EBC # CK1190 is the right part for 350X clutch frictions no matter what the box says. This kit was for a NX250, but it was $35.00 shipped which is why I got it. Spent a half hour carving out a new clutch side gasket from a roll of Fel-pro stock for $6.50. Clutch is as good as new!

The old frictions were actually in good shape and within spec, but the steels were glazed. The clutch springs were also sacked out by 1 full mm. We roughed the steels up with 220 grit and installed the spring shims, but all I ended up doing was shimming the clutch stack 1 mm Now that I know what I did wrong we can make some new shims, but for now it is all assembled with the springs as is and it works great!

Thanks for the help guys.
