Default Clutch and flywheel specs

I am looking for the following measurement specs.


1. On the flywheel measuring from the pressure plate mounting surface to the clutch disc surface. I have read that the most common number is 1.125. Is this correct?


2.The distance from the top on the pressure plate to the top of the actuating fingers. The most common that I have read is 7/8. True


Thanks, Steve

I have always heard that the dimension is 1.123 (easy to remember), so your value of 1.125 is within the tolerance. When ever you have the clutch surface machined have the shop take the same amount of material off the step. Then make sure the 1.123 is restored. To adjust the depth of the fingers on the pressure plate see the attached article.
