Can a 2lt Clutch be fitted to an 1.8lt

Gotta an odd Q

Can a 2lt clutch kit be fitted to a 1.8lt box and motor.

Reason, be installing 2lt box and motor in 6mnths but my current 1.8lt box and motor needs a clutch REAL BAD. So to save a few dollars I want to fit a 2lt clutch kit to my 1.8lt setup then when 2ltr setup goes I take the 2lt clutch kit off the 1.8lt and put on the 2lt.


THank you.

Hi

The 2 litre would use a 228 mm clutch, the 1800 used 215 & 210 mm clutches. You can fit a 228 flywheel to a 1800 motor.

Thanks steve,

I can do that!

Will fitting a 2lt flywheel effect anything else?, like fitting a larger flywheel to an 1800 decrease power etc.??


THank again mate.

I presume that you would also need the 2l bell housing if you use the larger flywheel.

It won't affect power.

Thanks Mns Kmobi...

When you say 'larger bell housing', would putting my 2lt box onto the 1.8lt motor with the 2lt flywheel and 2lt clutch work?

Man this is turning into some serious work just for a clutch, lol

Thank you.

Yes, but you will need a 2ltr starter motor!

doesn't that go without saying if I am fitting a 2lt box?

THanks for your replies everybody... and if all is well I will be doing this swapover on the Queen's bday weekend.

Thanks again.

Sorry to hijack your post but it is relevant to you (and me!).

Can you change a late bay kombi gearbox without removing the engine or is it possible but so insanely difficult it's easier to drop both?
