Standard Clutch part number for 1995 850T5R

[kristoff007]

Hi guys,

I had the clutch replaced on my 1995 model T5R about 8,000km ago (4-5 months)

I'm having some issues with it.

Since day 1, the clutch felt very very light.
Since a few weeks ago a high pitched whirring/clicking sound has been happening.
In the last few days the high pitched whirring/clicking has been joined by an intermittent lower pitched sound.
The clutch pickup point is now very close to the ground. On a couple of occasions I have been at standstill at a traffic light, in first gear, and with my foot firmly to the floor, it still engages the clutch slightly, (almost stalling the car)
Coasting along in neutral, the car makes no sound.

I am taking the car back to where I had the clutch recently replaced.

I know the clutch was replaced with a Sachs clutch, but am unsure of the part number.

Can anyone help me with the correct clutch to be installed. I hope the incorrect clutch wasn't installed to begin with, but if it was, the correct part number would be handy.

I hope this ends well, but i fear a pending dispute :(

Thanks for your help,

Chris

No worries, the info seems to be saying the 850R clutch is a good alternative....? I don't have personal experience of that, just using search. Maybe some of the guys can comment. What box do you have, M56?

Sounds like the clutch wasn't installed correctly to me.

i suspect either it needs re bleeding, or was not pre tensioned before installing. if this is not done, the little arms get bent as the box is bolted up.
the clutches are the same dimensions, but the r clutch does have higher rated springs so i good for more power. that's why it is a fairly standard upgrade choice.

Sounds like the centre plate is wrong way round to me?
