I bought two new clutch discs off E-bay. They are aftermarket Sach's discs. I don't know which ones are the transmission side and the engine side. The center sleeve on the discs are the same size and on my old discs one sleeve was longer then the other. One of the clutch discs have space in between the disc plates and the other is solid. Does this matter? And will these discs work?

Thanks,

Shawn

If you have the workshop manuals, there is a punch/colored dot method of coding on the discs which indicates which is which.

I'll try to check mine if I can and post.

From the manual; hope this helps:

The discs are different. Disc I (sometimes marked with white paint dot) is between flywheel and intermediate ring. Disc II (larger liner springs or longer hub) is between pressure plate and intermediate ring .

When installing discs on short central shaft make sure residual unbalance sides (yellow arrow/black side) are offset 180° opposite each other.
Note marks when installing pressure plate, intermediate ring and flywheel.

Assemble clutch, observing the following points:
a) Yellow arrows on discs are mounted 180° opposite (residual unbalance).
b) White mark on disc (without spring-loaded liner) faces flywheel.
c) Hubs of discs face release bearing.
d) Transfer residual unbalance mark of discs (yellow arrows) to engine side of same (facilitates assembly work).
e) Mark pressure plate before installing; drive pressure plate of dowel pin centered clutch on to centering pins or into intermediate plate with a plastic hammer far enough, so that the drive plate located between both can still be moved with short drive shaft (central shaft I).
f) Pressure plate and intermediate plate are also marked with dots of white paint (residual unbalance/heavy side), which are mounted offset 180° (opposite). This must be considered when replacing one or both parts.
g) Recheck protrusion of centering pins on flywheel (3.5 - 0.5 mm) , correcting if necessary.
h) Lubricate parts to specifications; however, lubricate the starter ring after installation of the clutch. Lubricate guide tube for the release bearing.

Thanks a lot for your replies! They were a great help for me.

Thanks,
