My 20v Timeline And Build

[One-Eight GTI]

Sorry, it's not possible for that rubbing to have caused that. If you want to discuss it more, call us up. I'm done here.

There was no rubbing taking place it was smacking... I think of rubbing as a nice massage, this is more like getting B*tch slapped many times in the face

[pete@integrated]

Great- it still wouldn't turn over or run if it was hitting hard enough to actually move the flywheel. Hell, search vortex if you want- there are plenty of instances of 02a 02j grinding in bellhousings, this is not a symptom.

Like I said, if you want to discuss this further, call. I'm open to looking at the parts and trying to figure out what really went wrong, but I refuse to play internet blame games, and bat things back and forth with unrelated parties.

I can understand the whole internet blame games, and unrelated parties getting involved.. I don't want this thread to get locked due to bickering.. All i have is your clutchfork, ARP bolts and Flywheel, clutch and pressure plate here, as Arnold has my Crankshaft.. I'm hoping it can be slavaged so I can sell it and get some of my money back that I'm spending on new flywheel, crank ect....

I can send you my clutchfork but I need my pressureplate and disc so when I get my new FW and crank I can get it going again... But I have enough pics on here so you can see whats going on with it

[One-Eight GTI]

Like I said, if you want to discuss this further, call.

If all were gonna do is play the "who is at fault" game over the phone I don't want to do that as I don't feel like getting mad over a phone conversation... If something can get resolved than I can call tomorrow otherwise we should end it here because we are both looking at this from opposing ends I'm right your wrong scenario

[Rumpelstilzchen]

i have done alot of motors and sometimes i use the tool and sometimes i don't.

gotcha

Well I pulled the tranny originally to replace rear main seal.... Once I got my tranny off my rear main wasn't leaking,(just found alot of other problems) I must of not put enough Dirko on the back side... I did use the thing that comes with the seal to guide it on and was fine... I know Arnold always uses the newer style seals and never has a problem. I am using the older style this time because not chancing it with the problems that I've been having lately, half the summer is gone and Haven't got to enjoy my car yet

Thanks for the info! , I know you already have your hands full with the other stuff, I hope it all works out for you

[seth_3515]

I started my 1.8t today.. Got the IE shift fork and FX400. Made almost the exact same noise. Ill be pulling the tranny and checking to see if its it. When I heard it I immediately thought of this thread and came to listen to the video. It sounds almost exactly the same. Ill be grinding it down and reinstalling. Hope it works.. Anywho good luck with teh rest of the build

Seth, when you get it out if you could post a pic of yours I'd appreciate it... I'm curious if there all crooked as hell like mine was... If I had another 1xxx bucks to waste like I just have, I'd tell you to leave it in and let it screw your crank up also to prove a point.. Then I'd reimburse you... Unfortunatly I don't have a bunch of money laying around.... If I was going to use the IE fork again I'd remoove an inch to inch and a half of the lower laser cut plate and than it would probably be fine... Like the pic of the other company that makes these that are made the correct way and not all distorted and welded crooked Good luck man at least my misfortune is helping someone else out

Yeah I noticed that on the pic as well. I'll be taking a cutoff wheel and grinder to get plenty of clearance. I got everything ready to pull the motor this evening sO hopefully I can have it up and running by Monday night

I wonder how long before we see a revised clutch fork design and a manufacturers fault excuse

You took the words out of my mouth, I was thinking the exact same thing


Seth any chance you could take a shot like this... If you have already cut it apart thats fine.. I'm just curious why Pete couldn't answer my question in post 241....


Either way glad my carnage helped you out and you had no question that you had to remove the thing and address the situation

What's the verdict based on this pic?

[18T_BT]

DUH! His FW is lose, what else could it be?

[seth_3515]

took a grind wheel and cut the shift fork. just about the white line and flap disced the edges and the bell housing where it looked like it was rubbing.

Seth if you could post up some pics of your finished product (shift fork and bellhousing) so it might help other people in the future. As this will continue to be a problem for everyone till IE welds a different designed plate on

Got a pic of it installed. Ill post it up

[seth_3515]

test fit.

[One-Eight GTI]

Thanks Seth, appreciate it Is it just the looks of the pic or did you have to sand down the area where my pinion brace is located?? The big round spot to the left of your clutchfork

[seth_3515]

I did. I used a grind disc then flapwheel on it. In the first pic you can see where it was rubbing. I used the grind disc to remove the first layer then flapwheeled it to smooth it out

Hopefully when you get it all installed it will be noise free Thanks again for the pics

I hoping the same! Most welcome on the pics

If you have had a clearance problem with these forks, please email me... We are going to do a billet steel complete replacement fork and I would like to offer you guys one for free. We have sold these things and used them for literally years and this is the first we have had clearance issues with them. However, we don't want to continue on with a product that is giving people issues, so it will be replaced. The billet version will be much stiffer anyways and just all around better.

If you only reinforce like half the fork, it's still flimsy as hell. We tested them a bunch of different ways about 5 years ago.

Seems funny that you have never had clearance issues with them but on your website it says "It is recommended to check clearance between clutch fork and pressure plate. Some aftermarket pressure plates will slightly interfere, which requires clearancing on the clutch fork. " Either way I will take you up on the offer minus well get something out of you guys... If I don't use it at least I can sell it to make up for the thousands I'm putting into this thing to get it back on the road

If I could do it all over again I would of done an 02M swap

Its an honor to have one of my parts on his page

Get. It. IN!

Get. It. IN!

As much as I was hoping to cruise to DIV with you Lane, I don't think its gonna happen this year, Even if I get everything later this week and pull really late night getting it running again I don't think I'd be to comfortable driving my car 6 hrs one way without driving it around town and making sure all the quirks are worked out

Agreed 100% dood. If you still make it out to DIV, you can get behind the wheel of the R at least

I don't know if I will make it... And I don't think it would be a good idea for me to drive your R as I will really be kicking myself for getting the wife her 2012 GTI, when for another 6 grand could of been behind an AWD R...

Hi guys
just wanted to show you how we made our reinforced fork in tuning garage called Herc tuning in Cacak Serbia from the guy who makes all the champion geraboxes here from the first class steel from Kosovo that is normaly exported to Italy.
He did my 02J gearbox to 6 speed one and incorporated my Quaife LSD into it.
Ratios are:
1. 3.7
2. 2.2
3. 1.6
4. 1.25
5. 1.04
6. 0.87
Final Drive 3.64
First two remained OE for the comfortable daily driving without killing the clutch and the rest is killing machine.
It is calculated for shifting on 7200rpm and drops only to 6000rpom where I do have 375Nm - meaning pulls like hell all the way.
Than we added reinforced fork that I have seen at inaeng.
Ours looks even better I think.
Still no billet pinion brace but to come.
I'll share my results than.
Here is the link to the pics:

Good catch Issam, I was thinking he just had a typo and meant "inteng"
