help, need to know how not to install clutch backwards
hi, i have a spec stage 3 clutch, i just want to know what side goes where. i dont want to install it backwards thanks..
I'm not positive on a T56 style clutch, but I know on most clutches, the flywheel side just has a little cone that sticks out from the center of the disc with the rest being perfectly flat. The pressure plate side has a raised hub with the springs in it. The raised hub usually sticks up about 1/2".

just make sure that the springs face the flywheel we did a clutch swap on my buddys car and the factory labeled the clutch wrong. when we put the side that said i think flwheel, we couldnt get the tranny to go it, flipped it around and it went right in.
