clutch probs

[dsmberge]

I am having some serious clutch problems with my 90 eagle talon. The clutch will not disengage. I have welded the clutch pedal assembly, i have used the master cylinder rod extension, i have checked the flywheel to make sure that it is within spec, i have also tried bleeding the clutch for a really long time. I have also replaced both the master and the slave cylinder. nothing seems to work. My question to you guys is, is there a difference in a 90 eagle talon clutch and a 91 VR4 clutch. I purchased an RPS clutch and that didnt work so we went with the ACT and we are still having the same Problem. When i ordered the clutch I ordered it for a 90 thinking there isnt a difference. If anyone knows what is going on please let me know because i am clueless.
Thanks

The pressure plate changes half way through 91...... so that might be your issue. I'm not sure as to what but they are different parts numbers. I hope that helps.

Hey thanks alot man. Are you absolutly positive?

Ok now heres my biggest question. How come ACT doesnt say that on their website.

I have the exact same problem you have and I have done everything short of replacing the clutch PP as well. Everything down to shimming the ball and replacing the fork... so now I will buy a new clutch (not ACT) and see if that is the cure.

You better make sure about the difference in years.

Via mitsubisi caps the pressure plate changes .... im sure what the difference is god and mitsu of japan only know. It could be something as stupid as they changed manufacturers....

Yea, i have done the fork and ball as well. I have also had a diffrent clutch. Dont try RPS clutchs either they didnt work.

I just talked to the guy from ACT and he had no idea what i was talking about. So before i pull that tranny again where could i find a pressure plate that will work?

I will call southbend tomorrow and see if they know anything about the difference in 90. All of the aftermarket clutches use the exedy hard parts with their own friction material, springs etc. Some grind off the markings (ACT) most don't, that is why they all still have the same symbols on them. The Exedy is the OEM for MItsu clutches as well.

The guy from ACT said they have used the same pressure plate from 89 to 99.
