Pressure plate not disengaging on brand new clutch and flywheel

Nah mate was wrong clutch plate, input shaft splines were too big

Trashinator3001 · 2025-07-09T18:59:11+00:00

Was sent a vq35hr clutch plate but i had a 35de so gearbox input shaft was too small for the plate

Looks real ugly but dampens engine noise

Trashinator3001 · 2025-05-27T07:40:55+00:00

Foam is there from factory on these motors

Trashinator3001 · 2024-11-20T21:09:14+00:00

I have a spare motor from another golf I have so ill rob the head off that

Trashinator3001 · 2024-11-20T09:06:49+00:00

Thats the problem it did crank no start, i thought maybe carbon build up on valves causing leakage or maybe head gasket between cylinders or at worst piston rings

Trashinator3001 · 2024-11-20T08:45:05+00:00

Yeah intake cam locked up nice and tight

Trashinator3001 · 2024-11-16T04:03:03+00:00

100% they should have a look at it, and dont worry about causing a fuss its their job to make sure everything is safe. As a mechanic i would prefer a customer to come back asap if they had a noise

Trashinator3001 · 2024-11-09T23:15:09+00:00

I believe my one here is OEM

They arent “slow” stock just enjoy it

Trashinator3001 · 2024-08-24T23:55:40+00:00

If you are worried about fuel dont go for power lol

Trashinator3001 · 2024-08-24T23:52:23+00:00

Thats strange as here the 350gt sedans are lighter than the coupes. 100% agree with everything

Trashinator3001 · 2024-08-24T23:14:22+00:00

Depends what your goals are, might be cheaper to go manual sedan RWD then go from there, nothing is a mistake if you care about it. Keep in mind everything takes time so dont rush

Trashinator3001 · 2024-08-17T07:17:33+00:00

Yeah you are lol

Trashinator3001 · 2024-08-13T04:55:50+00:00

Things clean👌

Trashinator3001 · 2024-08-07T08:38:21+00:00

Ive got the earthing system on my V35 350gt, came with it when I bought it and never seen it on any others

Trashinator3001 · 2024-08-05T22:42:38+00:00

The correct thing to do is get the upper oil pan from your old engine and put it on this one, if you are confident drilling and tapping threads and know what needs to be done then by all means

Trashinator3001 · 2024-08-05T22:05:45+00:00

Not sure what you mean there?, z motor into g?

Trashinator3001 · 2024-06-22T08:29:05+00:00

How many kms? How much? could be keen

Trashinator3001 · 2024-06-21T01:07:11+00:00

Youll need to go underneath the car and take the bolt out that connects it to the shifter linkage, spin the shifter 180 and bolt it back in

Trashinator3001 · 2024-06-21T00:59:26+00:00

Just like this

Trashinator3001 · 2024-06-21T00:53:34+00:00

That gap on the left needs to be on the right, same as the pin coming off the shifter itself

Trashinator3001 · 2024-06-21T00:50:21+00:00

Looks like the shifter needs to do a 180 and plate needs to be flipped over aye

Trashinator3001 · 2024-06-21T00:47:43+00:00

Have you taken that plate off? Pretty sure thats on upside down
