Another question (LUK Clutch)

[Chief Master Sergeant]

I read on some earlier posts where folks said someone might have installed their clutch backwards, but never saw an explanation as to which was it's supposed to face. The LUK clutch has a raised center section on one side and is relatively flat on the other side. I'm assuming the raised metal side goes toward the pressure plate. Correct?

Sorry about all the questions lately. I'm trying to button this thing up and REALLY don't want to have to redo anything. Thanks for all the help.

Also, should I put thread lock on the pressure plate bolts?

NOT A BAB IDEA I WOULD AND DO

there's an ink stamping on it saying flywheel side and clutch side should be on hub area of clutch.

Loctite 242 the the pressure plate bolts (and flywheel for that matter) and make sure your torque wrench is accurate. If it's a "click" type, calibrate it with a beam type to be sure it's accurate...I can't begin to tell you how much havoc an out of spec torque wrench can wreak.
