Clutch disk problem

Other side

If the dimensions are the same, I.E. within a small amount 1/8" or so it should be no problem,
I did the same thing to get me by till the new engine R&R and mine works great. Even used a sanding disc to rough up the pressure plate and fly wheel.

Rough sanding disk? Like 80 grit?

The critical dimension with Pantera clutch discs is their thickness (assuming the spline fits the ZF input shaft). Too thick a disc causes many clearance problems. The friction surface will dictate the smoothness of engagement (i.e- no chatter or lots of chatter) and holding power, and maybe disc life. Unfortunately, you must install the ZF to find out how bad things really are. Most discs NOT sold by a Pantera vendor will need substantial adjustment of the clutch linkage: repositioning of the bellcrank arm on the cross-shaft in the bellhousing to start with.

I used 36 grit but 80 would be fine. you just want to knock the shine off & any ridge were the old disc was not wearing, mine had burned pretty bad from slipping, this is alot like new pads on brakes without machining the rotors, as long as you were not chattering before you should be good. mines working great no issues, was out again last night at a cruise.

I just went through my engine, while it was out I had the Clutch and pressure plate rebuilt and the flywheel re-surfaced at the locale clutch and brake shop in Seattle. It's all back together now and works great. I added horsepower and have about 200 miles on it. All I had to do was bleed the lines and adjust the stops and it holds great. The total cost was $175.00 and it was ready for me to pickup the next day. Being that it was the one I just took out I was sure it would fit and it saved me alot. By Reno I will know for sure if it works out but it was worth a try.

I had my clutch and pressure plate relined last year, along with the flywheel being resurfaced. Only problem I had was the slave cylinder started leaking very soon after getting the setup back together. A new long throw cylinder and 1717 was like new. Just a note, I was warned to have a new cylinder or a rebuild kit on hand when redoing the clutch, my source told me the stock cylinder can start leaking once disturbed.

I put a new slave and master on last summer and a new stainless line so hopefully I'm covered.
