DaveSIIA Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Swapping a 2.5NA Diesel into a SIII to replace the 2.25 Petrol engine. I have several low mileage, good order Defender clutch covers (FTC575) but don't have a SIII item (576557) to hand. Can the later Defender clutch cover be used in place of the SIII item?

Les Henson Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 You have to use the clutch plate, thrust bearing, and fork to match the gearbox you are using. Clutch covers are the same. It's possible that the thrust bearings are the same, but I'm not sure. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Les, Thanks for the info, it's what I like to hear. I have new clutch plate & thrust bearing for the SIII. The fork is in good nick. Just being a tight wad for a complete clutch in a vehicle which will do less than 3000 miles a year. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
