Default Cartek Clutch had been broken after 900 mile

Hi all ,

I installed Cartek Clutch before 2 months , and I got my best - in sign. - with this clutch .

before week ago , I started my car in the morning , I tried to put the shifter in 1st , but I coulden't , I tried to put the shifter in any gear also I coulden't ..... just if the car is off I can , but when its On I coulden't <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

We said its from the clutch ...... when we opened the clutch we saw that the clutch is broken ..... WHY ??? I don't know ..... the Disk too was gone , and the Flywheel
<img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

I don't know what was the problem ......

I just drove 900 mile on it ......... between 700 - 800 Dollar for just 900 mile ...... My friends in USA have this clutch , and its OK .....

Maybe their was a mistake during install the clutch ?? Hmmmm .... maybe !!!!

Any way , I got back to Factory clutch .....

and thats all

Good luck

Wow, that's tough luck Abdulla. I haven't done a clutch install on these cars, so I can't help you out. Good luck, hope you get it right.

That factory clutch will not hold the power you are putting down for very long.... <img src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" border="0" alt="[judgement]" />

Take some pictures of the damaged and broken parts. I want to see them out of curiosity.

I'd call Cartek. If you dont get anywhere there.....install the RAM 402pp and 6130 disc for about 325.00 US You already have an adjustable master so all you need to do is turn the flywheel. I wonder If the pp was installed using a torque sequence...
