To Those who have done or are considering a Subaru Conversion in Their Vanagon &
decide to use the SmallCar Performance Route (as I would again if I were to do it again) ~
As Has Been Mentioned before By Ben @ http://www.benplace.com/bjp3.htm & I
Unfortunately Forgot ~
DO NOT USE an LUK Clutch Disc in a SmallCar BellHousing ~ Disaster Happens ~
6Mo old Metal Slave/Release Bearing from VW Dealer + Brand Spankin New Luk Clutch Disc
resulted in both being Destroyed ~ It took about 2.5Min's of Eng run for the Disc Snout to
LockUp/Cease inside the Slave ~ I had to remove the Pressure Plate bolts through the slot
in the bottom of the BellHous' in order to get the the Trany Down & then Dismantle the Disc
with an Angle Grinder in order to get the Disc off the Trany ~
ORR ~ DeanB
& By the way ~ Reason for the Clutch Work was due to having the EJ25 Out for Replace
by Rebuild @ 75K Mi's Due to a Gates TimingBelt Coming Apart @ 50K Mi's ~ Not been Good
