Clutch Disk Side?

[sehorntx]

Have a 99 C2; currently have the engine out on a stand, and I have removed cylinder head. The head (1-3) is currently at the machine shop repairing a crack near spark plug recess #1. Had intermix problem like seen previously.

I have removed the clutch pressure plate/disk and flywheel to put my engine on the stand. Unfortunately I did not mark or note which side of the disk faced the flywheel. I understand this makes a difference and may lead to problems upon reassembly. So my question is - can you figure out by looking at the disk which side is which? If not should I just bite the bullet and put in a new clutch?

Also what should I do with RMS/IMS bearing, the car has not had any problems or leaks prior to intermix.

(99 with 74K on the clock)

Thanks in advance,

Tim S

In this diagram the transmission is on the left. The flat portion of the clutch driven disc faces the flywheel.

Tim,

Sounds like a good opportunity to do Jake Raby's IMS upgrade. There are quite a few threads on this if you do a search.

Here is a link to Jakes site and his IMS solution...

Thanks Loren,

What exactly do you mean by the flat portion of the disk? The inner metal portion of the disk is everted on one side and inverted on the other. It looks to me that the everted side would face/fit into the pressure plate side, what do you think?

Philip,

I'm thinking about the IMS, may just do the simple bearing/nut change, as I dont know I'm going to actually bring my car back to life yet!!!! :P

Look at the diagram above the raised center hub portion faces the pressure plate as shown.
