Going To Replace My Clutch At Gearbox Rebuild

[mikel]

a few noob questions but I'm a bit confused after all of Noel's drama...

I've only ever replaced 1 clutch and the things I bought were the clutch plate, pressure plate and throwout bearing.

The clutch cover was never mentioned.

Does that mean that they used the existing clutch cover? and is that because clutch covers typically don't wear out? (other than catastrophically in Noel's case )

All those steel fingers on the inner part of the clutches you see in the magazines, is that the pressure plate?

cheers

yes those steel fingers are known as diaphrams and thats the pressure plate.

and the pressure plate bolts to the clutch cover?

all the clutches in the magazines look like a pressure plate and cover in one, unless the cover goes over that again?

"Pressure Plate" and "Cover Plate" are the same thing.
