What sort of 5 speed is it? If its the same as a VL it should bolt up with the VL gear box mount. Did you use the VL engine frame?

My thoughts. I personally like the FE2. It has just the right amount of comfort but still giving you sports performance. Sure it will have its limits that other after market systems will better, but you need to think about what you want overall. Handling or comfort? Some mates of mine have put...

Noise is gone. Old clutch system with new gear box fitted.

Not that's the new parts. Clutch industries system bought from repco. It was as if the fly wheel or clutch plate has a bow in it. At the moment i have the old dual mass clutch system back in it and it seems to be running fine. Plenty on plate left and only really replaced it as the original...

Thanks for the reply db_notso but this was a brand new clutch system that was making the noise. New flywheel, clutch plate, pressure plate, thrust bearing and spigot bush. Original noise, what i thought was the thrust bearing turned out to be the front main bearing in the gear box. You can...

When it first went in it felt great. Felt a lot more responsive then the dual mass. If it wasn't faulty i'd still have it in there put it that way. Some people have said that they are noisy but i cant really comment on that due to mine not working properly, cause it was very noisy and was...

We think that we have found what the noise was, well put it this way its not making the noise anymore. The new clutch was faulty. Only about 25-30mm of the clutch plate was in contact with the fly wheel and the thurst bearing wasn't making proper contact either. So the brand new clutch is...

Im thinking that something has gone in wrong. While playing with it over weekend it was noticed that even with the clutch on the floor it appears as though its still part engaged as its hard than it should be to get into gear and the tail shaft give a little twist at the same time (when...

Ill give it a go. Noise happens when the car is idle out of gear. Put clutch in and noise goes away. I noticed this morning that i can also feel a vibration as the clutch engages. There is also a noise while your driving but i can't be sure its the same noise. It sounds a bit like when a...

Spigot is new as old one fell out when every thing was pulled out. Noise seems to be getting worse so any ideas would be great no matter how strange they seem.

Noise is abit like a grinding or dry bearing. Gear box is brand new. Whole of clutch was replaced include spigot bush and thrust bearing.

G'day all. Have slight problem with my VX S. Had a noise coming from the clutch/ gear box area. So went on the hunt to track it down. Eliminated the thrust bearing so it was down to clutch or gear box for the noise. Replaced the dual mass system with a soild flywheel and clutch to match...

When i did mine i had a Ford speedo gear fitted to the end of the cable and it was reading very true. However it wasn't running a speed sensor. How the auto elec got around the speed sensor im not sure

Here is mine not long after installation and after a couple of years runnning.
