Hi,
I want to replace the clutch on my '72 FJ40. It has the 1F, but the gearbox is a 4 speed (I guess from a '75 or later).
I was recommended by an FJ40 specialist to replace the old 3-finger pressure plate with a later multifinger plate. While installing, I notice that the clutch plate is 1,5cm higher from the part where it mounted onto the flywheel than the old plate. Basically, when I install the clutch and pressure plate, the clutch has around 1,5cm front-back play.
Is this movement ok? Does the new set perhaps require a later model flywheel? Or am I doing something wrong?
The new set is a Nipparts J2002051.
I greatly appreciate your advise! Please see the photos.
Best regards, Robin (Netherlands).
