CBL 6-speed without spacer?

[quattrostyle]

No guys I won't ask what you're thinking.

I had a UrS4 wich I used for parts, when I removed the gearbox I noticed there wasn't a spacer between the engine and gearbox, but it had a dual mass flywheel.

Now i'm a bit confused, can I use the gearbox with 3B flywheel and clutch?

[aronmatic2]

yes.

[quattrostyle]

if you say so...

I had my doubt's because the S2's use a dual mass flywheel wíth spacer and in that case you can use a single mass and ditch the spacer, that's clear to me. But now, no spacer but with dual mass flywheel, I thought there should be too much space between the clutch and release bearing?

its miracle

[quattrostyle]

it apparently is

[gedu]

C4 chassis used dual-mass flywheel without spacer, it's that simple

[anton]

does this mean the dual mass flywheel was a more comact version, the same size as a single mass, i assume??

In most cases,Single mass flywheels are more compact than their dual mass counterparts.

The RS2/S2 uses a spacer because of the specific design of the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate used. On the S4/S6 a spacer isn't needed....different flywheel, etc.

That being said, the urS4/S6 gearboxes and S2/RS2 gearboxes are all interchangable. However, if you use a flywheel from a RS2/S2 you must use the spacer. All of these gearboxes share the same bellhousing part number, by the way.

The flywheel is the driver here. If you have a 3B flywheel use the associated pressure plate and clutch with your CBL and you'll be OK.

It can get very confusing Hopefully that helps explain it a bit?

Perfect Tom! that explains it, thanks.

Something less to worry about then

[saltinot]

You are welcome sir.

No reason why anyone should have to go through the same pain as I did trying to figure this out. It took a trip to Germany, ETKA, and some a few months before I got a handle on this topic. We didn't get the spacer setup here in the states.

Let me know if you run into anything else and I'll attempt to assist.

[quattrostyle]

I will Tom. Guess you can help me out with some other things in the future, you got a turbo's type 85 aswell right?

[saltinot]

you got a turbo's type 85 aswell right?

err, yes I do. why

[quattrostyle]

err because I will be building a 20VT in my 90q type 85 sir

[saltinot]

excellent! I have a 20vt engine that is destined for my '85 urq. We will need to swap notes!

[quattrostyle]

do I understand correctly that it has a 10VT atm?
