Clutch Cover

Post by Angreal » Thu Nov 08, 2012 10:17 pm

What does the clutch cover do other than cover the clutch? Is it worth replacing at the same time as a clutch?

Yes its a good idea to replace it at the same time as the clutch. Maybe consider going to a slightly higher pressure one at the same time since your planning on supercharging it

So is the clutch cover the bit that applies the pressure? I always thought it was the clutch itself... Guess it's time to do some reading up on how it all works
