can you speedi sleeve a pressure plate
-
hello, in addition to tearing the lip seal on the throw out bearing i also gouged the pressure plate housing where the throw out bearing seal rides..hey, if you are going to screw up..might as well do it right. so i was wondering about a repair scheme. could i use a speedi-sleeve in that area? i had also thought about a cylinder hone and honing it out, but tese are two 1/4" spaced deep, parallel grooves i put in there. any thoughts? thank you. regards, tom

Probably could sleeve it.. but how in the dickens didga do that?:eek: -
This is usually the result of the seal being folded over onto itself. The spring is exposed and runs metal to metal thus causing a groove. It is also somewhat normal for there to be a groove in the P/Pl. cover from the O.E.leather seal. The new type of neoprene seal does not do this. A seal and sleeve?,unless you just like to take it in and out why not get another pressure plate? Good luck.

hello clutch guy. do you happen to know where can i get a new pressure plate and at what cost? i gouged the pressure plate housing as i removed my engine. late at night..not thinking...the usual. regards, tom
-
Yes I have these. I PM you.

Now that is cool info. I never even thought of a sleeve. It could work if you machined the inside damaged area, the thickness of the sleeve, and the epoxy was applied without any voids. Yes !! it could work, COOL!! it is just a seal surface after all, no load to speak of.Bobbydamit
