Please Help!!!
does anyone know what size the pressure plate mounting bolts for the tranny are?

im stuck............. i got nothing that fits............ its like bigger than a 10mm, and smaller than a 11mm, 7/16 fits best but still spins a little,

i got newer engine in and i separated the tranny from old engine , just cant get the fukn pressure plate ,clutch and fly off cause of those 9 bolts holding the pressure plate down :(
dont wanna buy a whole set of new sockets, would prefer to buy just the one if someone can tell me for sure what it is ?????

i went down the "add tranny later" road

been strapped for cash so couldn't afford to get hoist for another day, and lucky cause i still wouldn't have had it out lol,

i think ill b right as long as i can get the pressure plate off , just more time consuming doing it this way, but safer in the long run for a first timer i reckn :)

life saver ...as usual lol,

going to try buy it now :)

thanks man

can anyone help me. my car normally turns on and revs to about 1500 rpm,then drops down very low to about 300, and then levels out at around 1000. Now I have noticed the car turns over a lot more before it starts, and sometimes when it starts it revs up to 1500 and then goes all the way down and stalls? something to do with ignition switch or relays?

any ideas would be great cheers

try the basic things first like checking for spark and pull the plugs and make sure they all look fine. take the cap off the distributor and see if the points and rotor look ok and that the connections on the igniter are tight. make sure your leads are in good nick and tightly fitting
when was the last time you changed your fuel filter? this can also impact but usually causes more problems at high revs/load than low.

try these and see if it works.

wat mooshies said... but if all is good it could be an issue with your cold start stuff. check vac lines etc. but after wat mooshie said. lol

i fixed it, but another problem was revealed.............petrol light is broken..........facepalm

thanks anyway
