Thread: Clutch Torque Specs

Installing a new clutch in my b14. Havent been able to find torque specs anywhere for the pressure plate. Anyone know the torque specs off hand? Also, I already torqued the flywheel down to 69 ft lbs, but didnt put any loctite on the bolts but instead just put anti seize on it since thats all that I had. Any problems with doing this? I dont mind removing the pp, clutch and flywheel bolts and redoing it again if it may pose a problem.

Shoot i just firmly tighten mine everytime i did anything in there

Here you go.

Thanks Tomas, any input on loctiting the flywheel bolts or is it not necessary? I just put anti-seize on the bolts and torqued them to 69 ft lbs, not sure if thats fine or not.

No prob. What you did I think is fine for the flywheel bolts. Personally all the swaps ive done I just torqued down and went. Haven't had any issues.

I have always used loctite on my flywheel bolts. Added insurance for them not coming out. I would suggest using blue, but the red doesnt hurt either(just a little harder to get them back out if needed). And torque specs are key on both flywheel and pressure plate. Always torque them.

Keep in mind that oem flywheel bolts are stretch to fit, thus once you remove them they are already stretched out and you should replace them (kind of like the head bolts). With that out of the way, plenty of us have still reused the bolts, I just tend to overtorque them a bit to make up for them stretching.

Thanks for the tip Vadim, think Im going to get some loctite and re-torque it to around 75-80ft lbs in compensation for them stretching. Thanks for the help.
