Clutch Replacement to cope with extra Berries 08 GU CRD

[Baby Daddy]

Have an inquisitive side, guess this purchase is of a second hand RE4 auto gear box and controller + need trans cooler?

You'll most probably have it come with the tranny itself.
Not sure about bellhousing transmission control module etc as i changed those amd my car was a factory tb45 so it came with an re4 already...

Realistically though you can buy them amd a manualised valve body so you domt use the tcm anymore and its then manualised.

Will have to check when buying if it comes with torque converter or not

Not this time round, mystery secondhand RE4 $700 + $1300 for controller + other bits, get up round $2500. Interesting though.

New 4 Terrain ER2 clutch and SM flywheel delivered today but missing flywheel to crank bolt set. Contacted OEM / supplier (CI Aust) good bloke, told him install is scheduled for Wednesday, first he said, need to contact seller and then said what we will do is send bolt set Toll priority (Air overnight) direct. Recon that is service, just now need to get my hands on it(not metro to metro).

Yeah I’ve never had an issue with Clutch Industries. I used them a lot when I had my store. First class help they have every time.

For some reason bolt kit missed Toll pick up last night, now all good have a consignment # and seen that is in transit (air). Gave me a chance to amend delivery address to hold at depot, so first up in the morn will go and pick up in town. The local mechanic got me to drop vehicle off early this arvo as they had finished a job that made a space.

Speaking with a fella has same (ER2) in CRD, real happy with pedal feel and no shudder. Looking fwd.

Not off the hoist yet. Bolt set delivered and ready to go, G/Box and dual mass flywheel out and on floor, stunk heaps, serious hot spot on pressure plate, clutch plate right down near to metal and DMF nearly falling apart. No wonder I thought good idea to stop driving it before going no where... lol.

Was surprised that the starter ring gear is a separate disc assy (separate unit to the dual mass flywheel). Proving a bit stubborn to to remove (may be hung up on locating dowels) from crank interface. Hope it is on the road tomorrow.

Very interested to see how she spools up (early boost with more load low down) without slipping.

I had some hesitation going a SMF, as read reports of shudder low down and generally a bit noisier in drive train.

Must say, I am so pleased with the function/performance of the new 4 Terrain Ultimate ER 2 conversion clutch kit (SMF), pedal feels no heavier, no shudder at all (even when lugging 1100-1300 rpm) and not noisy. Engages at low pedal to floor but won't think about adjusting until she wears in a bit(works good).

Glad I did not attempt to remove gearbox by myself, sooo big laying on the floor.

Nice one. The pedal will eventually engage higher too as the clutch wears in.
