Clutch not fitting over crankshaft end?!? August 10, 2021, 09:48:11 PM I have managed to get the pressure plate off which was a struggle. It was on so tight!Offered up the new clutch and its as though the clutch centre hole is too small for the crankshaft end. Is this normal? I thought it should just slot straight over with no issues and then bolt up.Has anyone else experienced this?I don't want to force the new one on.Cheers,Charlie

I bought the following clutch as its the same as what was already in the car but thinking now the previous owner forced the pressure plate on as it was a PITA to get off!!https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/027198141c-1-8-16v-gti-210mm-clutch-kit.html?qty=1Existing clutch;
