Will them groves help it hold in any way? Or just to make it look pretty? Ive fitted a luk kit to my zx think it'd be ok with just a pressure plate or would I be best with full kit?

I assumer they may help dissipate heat a tad quicker. Wouldnt of thought they would hold any better though.

Aren't they there to 'shave' the centre plate to stop it glazing with heat, like brake disc grooves?

Yeah the 1 on the right is the 1 i had issues with. It was painted but i painted it again so i could see where it was catching the the gearbox

Out of interest, could you measure the depth of the splines chap?

Yeah no problem
22mm by a tape measure. Thats all ive got at home so could be a little out. Can get the verniers on it tomorrow for a more accurate one if you want. Also just a side note. Friction materials not very thick.

The xud just has a standard clutch ATM. Poss going to look into getting the re-plated though

My paddle been in a week now. Runs fine. Get the usual rattling on idle with the clutch but goes away when you press the pedal. Works fine and grips like mad!
...so far

So ive sent the clutch back with a spare input shaft i had lying about so they can rectify the mistake. I have been dealing with linda the entire time and she seems more than happy to help and the customer service has been good. Even said thankyou for me offering to send the input shaft so they could see the problem first hand. Although Yes there is an issue at this time. it is being sorted as we speak.

It rattles on idle. Or with clutch disengaged. Causes quicker wear or anything?

That is the problem I was talking about regarding the width / quality of the spline, this seems to have been an ongoing issue for some time... It will cause extra wear and I guess eventually will wear thin enough / strip it and loose drive, although I'm yet to see this happen / have given several of the effected units some serious abuse!
Yet to decide on clutch for the bus, but until this issue is ironed out / resolved im going to hang fire / weigh up other options as its far from ideal. | Dyno Power Runs & Steady State Facilities Available, Just Ask Anytime |

So here is a short video so you guys can see. not the best not being near a gearbox. for all the people that say cg dont have good customer service. i sent this to them last Tuesday after speaking to linda who dealt with my clutch the numerous times i rang. They got this turned around in five working days. obviously havnt got the clutch in yet. maybe next week now. But i would be more than happy to deal with them again.

Piggy have you had any issues with yours? Are you also running the same unsprung setup?
