Been wondering if utilising an m47 with a flat flywheel would require some custom sort of clutch arrangement?
Did stumble upon this thread
user48736353002 My clutch (which has been happy for years) is starting to slip as the engine mods are adding up. Can anyone help me narrow down the best value flywheel/clutch combo for a M47 that doesn't need the crank angle sensor holes? Not running LH2.4. The car is a 1988 240 - If I'm installing a new clutch I wouldn't mind installing a lighter flywheel if there is the option. I did read that the flat flywheel should fit an M47. For a bit of fun, here's a video of it slipping after tuning for E85 fuel tonight. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uzwo4_4UigE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Thanks.
@Vee_Que mentions a combination of falcon pressure plate and a Toyota spline disc. Is this simply for higher power applications?
Did notice there was a sachs clutch kit for m45/m46/m47. So does that mean all clutches are the same? The following reference seems to indicate the early flat flywheel cars have an 8.5" pressure plate/flywheel and later cars have 9". But then they are discussing fitment of a 9.5" setup. In which case, does the m47 typically have the 9" setup? And can it be adapted to work directly with a flat flywheel? Or would it be a case of utilising a combination of early type pressure plate and later type diaphragm? Or am I just overthinking this?
