my clutch fiasco.

Apr 24, 2004 2 Replies

I have a 1986 jetta Gl Wolfsburg, and here's the deal



I have been doing my clutch on my car for like a week now, and I am about done (first timer). I got a question about the clutch disc. on one side of the disc, it is flat, alongside with the hub and everything. on the other side, there is the protruding hub and the protruding part that goes over the input shaft. in my Bentley, it tells me to place the side that sticks out (the second side) facing you. but on my clutch disc. it says "flywheel side" on the flatter side. is this just a misprinted disc, and I should ignore it? or am I supposed to be able to get this on the way the clutch disc tells me.



thanks in advance


Or to put simply what the first person wrote: The FLYWHEEL is the outside part you bolt to the pressure plate that's bolted to the crank. VW clutches are backwards from most cars.
