lightnin Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hi there I have put a rover sd1 engine into my series 3 88 landy and would like to continue to use the original series 3box with overdrive, could any body advise me which clutch setup to use as the series 3 clutch seems to be at least 10mm short of touching and a series 2a clutch the main shaft out the box won't go through the boss on the pressure plate so when all bolted up the clutch is permanently engaged, could anyone please help???

Dave W Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Have you had the V8 flywheel machined to use the Series 3 clutch plate or are you trying to use a v8 clutch on the flywheel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightnin Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 When we first got the sd1engine it was fitted to a 109running with the original 2a box without any issues but the old 109 has bit the dust past rotten, but the gearbox had lost 2nd gear hence why we were going to use my series 3 box but I believe it's the thinner sd1 flywheel as apposed to the thicker landy v8 one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 If you're using an SD1 flywheel you need a custom release bearing, Milner used to sell them but no idea if they're available now. The RR flywheel makes it a nicer drive, especially off-road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hmm could you perhaps grind enough material away from inside the boss on the S2 pressure plate, to make the shaft pass through? and then would the S3 release bearing and S2 pressure plate combo be the right length?

missingsid Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 RRC flywheel great offroad but very slow to loose momentum with spirited gear changes on road! My S1 feels like a truck has hit it up the rear if I drive it like a car. Offroad I can use tickover in low box when rock crawling. My clutch is a mix of Jag S2 and LR but cant rember which bits without dighing out my build history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought so took it to local engineering company to get it done propley they tried milling instead of lathing it and ripped the boss clean out the clutch wished I'd used mi dye grinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
