Vitara Clutch Question
« on: November 11, 2006, 10:29:47 »
Can anyone tell me how many splines are on the clutch driveshaft, please?

Mine is; 1995 SWB 1.6 8v Petrol, Fuel Injected.  I've discovered it's a 200mm clutch plate but need to know the number of splines.

Cheers :)

According to the LUK clutch catalogue, all the 88 onwards Vits have a 20 spline plate. The diameter changed from 200mm to 215mm in 1990 it seems.

But manufacturers catalogues are not always reliable!

Cheers Steve :)

So mines a 215mm plate not 200mm?  How do I find out for certain? :)

Hang on! Just done a bit of Googling and have found info that suggests the 16v engines used the 215 plate! But LUK suggest both are 20 spline.

http://www.national-auto.co.uk/catafiles/clutch/nck.xls (Excel spreadsheet)
Go to line 7323.

Told you I couldn't rely on catalogues!

Everything I can find suggests the 8v used the 200mm 20 spline plate.

HTH.

Thanks again Steve :)

I'll take your word for it as I don't have Excel :DOH: :)

So it's a 200mm plate with 20 splines - cheers :) :) :)
