whats required to fit a s2 flywheel + clutch to a s1

 

i think there a straight swop

 

str8 swap afaik. fits into S1 box aswell

 

Just remember to swap the thrust bearing too.

 

Yup..S2 stuff will fit straight in

 

do i need a s2 starter motor fitting? i have them both so which is gona be best to use

 

JesseT, what's the difference? just size?

I have S2 clutch/flywheel but i dont think it's an S2 thrust bearing?

 

No need to fit an S2 starter, but if it's newer condition, then you could do. I don't think there is any difference to be honest: but could be wrong.

 

Hi!

I'm planning to fit an S2 clutch (d=220mm) to an MK3 Escort XR3i (original clutch d=200m). I already have the the flywheel, so that the bigger clutch will fit to it, but I was told, that the 220mm clutches are "low-lift", so there can be a problem. (Or I have to change the clutch operating arm as well).

Any experience with it...?

 

vroooom ptssssh: thrust bearings are all the same

To fit a S2 flywheel and clutch to an s1, you need, the clutch and flywheel

 

Pretty sure all the release arms are the same......i'll have a look on microcat

Just looked............the only variation is in the 88 changeover, difference being the release arm can be removed from the top, but im sure they are the same length etc.

 

Just done a measurement:
The arm in the car is about 16,5cm long (from the connection to the release bearing to the end), and the one that I got from an MK4 is ~18,5cm.

So you say it wont matter for me. Then what's the difference between them? Its lighter to push the pedal with the longer one?

 

straight swap did mine years ago,no problems with starter motor s1 works fine

 

Thats the answer to the question then......

The longer one (newer one) will make the pedal lighter, but will need more pedal travel to fully disengage.........

Take your pick in that case, my MK3 cabby has a S1 box with the shorter arm, and a 220mm clutch, works fine and the pedal isn't at all hard. You may well find the holes on the gearboxes are different and don't line up if you change the arm for the longer one aswell so bear that in mind

 

Exactly the same here.

 

Yes, the newer one has two holes, and mine has only one.

Thanks for all your answers, you helped me to avoid some unnecessary work!

 

No problem

 

Hi mates!

On the weekend we successfully mounted the 220mm flywheel and clutch on my MK3 XR3i without any problems (except some rain )

Thanks again for your help!
