mk5 smiley clutch plates??

[fordmaniac]

hiya guys, is it just me or is there such a thing as vast variety of clutch plates for the mk5 2.5diesel? ive been looking at some recently and some have 5 springs and some have 4 springs on the clutch centre plate? which is right , mine is a a M Reg 2.5 1995 . does it just depend on who manufactured the clutch? would a clutch off a 99 model mk5 fit a 95 model for instance? any help appreciated cheers gaz

there are only 3 fitment of clutch plates for the smileys

One is a petrol one

One is normal duty one

One is a heavy duty one (larger dia and often fitted to turbos)

There's loads of different ones just for the diesel engine alone

No doubt, the after market ones have been limited to what you're saying
