Default Clutch issue
Started on my clutch change today. Pulled the 6 speed box out in the end instead of the engine, it took a while but was pretty straightforward on a mate's driveway.

Got back home and measured the old clutch plate and it's only 230mm.
I'm pretty sure all 6 speeds are 240mm, my new clutch definitely is. So i'm guessing the previous owner must have just re-used the existing clutch and flywheel when they did the 6 speed conversion?

Looking online at pictures of the 6 speed flywheel it looks very different so I assume I'm going to have to get hold of one to go with my new clutch?
Also is the starter going to be different?


This is the flywheel I took off the car (it needs a skim before it'll be any use anyway)

Sorry, missed that last reply.
Ordered one from scoobyspares which should hopefully be delivered today. Then it'll be off to be skimmed by a local engineering place.
The rear main seal looks like it may have been leaking so I will replace that.
I'm not sure if the oil separator plate has been too. I can't see a gasket listed for it, what are you supposed to use to seal it?
