1.8 CVH Clutch Friction Plate Wanted
mikeb - 13/8/12 at 12:53 PM

I popped the clutch plate out while I had the engine out yesterday
It seems to have less than a mm on the grooves.

The CVH will only be in for 2k miles max though so don't know whether to change it, dont' really want to pay £60 for a new one.

If anyone has a spare one with more meat on it....

I'm also going to chop the sump, any tips for replacing the sump plug, I don't have a tap big enough for the current size?

Dont think i need mine, unless its a usefull part for a zetec>type9 mating?
No idea of the condition other than the donor ran fine from pompey to basingstoke when I picked it up.

Only if you choose to use the much lighter CVH flywheel. Most don't as a separate trigger wheel is needed as the CVH flywheel dooesn't have one.

I think the general concencus is 1.8 zetec flywheel and clutch with a ct133 release bearing? I already have the bearing so i guess im going down that route! Will check its condition if you like mikeb?

That would be great!

I do not want to upset the apple cart loggyboy, but the Zetec clutch friction plate will be
of no use if you are mating the Zetec to a type 9. The splined shaft is different.

I ended up using the zetec 1.8 flywheel and pressure plate withe a CVH 1.8 friction plate and the CT133 bearing.

Do not forget that you also require a spigot bearing to be fitted into the crankshaft for the gearbox input shaft support.

HTH,

As that's my friction plate gone any sources of a new one?, can't find anywhere that stocks just the plate

As your only looking at a couple of K miles, I would be inclined to stick the old one back in, takes a fair while to wear even 1 mm from a clutch plate, (as long as your not into trafic light grand prix). Cheers Ray

From what I've read the 1.8 zetec full clutch kit can be used, just needs to be from a car with an mtx75 box, besides I would expect to buy a new one anyway, as i do plan on keeping my engine in for quite some time!
