1200 Clutch Flex Disk
 

Hey guys, this may be the cheap side of me talking here. Has anyone sucessfully rebuilt a flex plate? I mean found the right spring steel plate and attached it back on the 3 stud plate, then drilled the proper holes to bolt to the flywheel? I know the new ones are around $120.00, just trying to save money and possibly make it stronger than an oem. Probably a waste of time, just wonderin. Thanks, TB

You mean pressure plate? Or are you talking about the clutch disk? There is no "flex plate" in a clutch. :bigthink: I have no idea what you are talking about, or where you got that price.....

You can buy a complete clutch assembly rebuilt from Mark Hellrung (Yosemitesam, or the yellow sponsor at the top of the page) for $175.

I think he is talking about the 3 pin driver.

Yes, the 3 pin drive plate. I also have seen it called a flex plate/disk. Im referring to the the thin flexable metal that is riveted to the backside of it, the part that bolts to the flywheel cup. Sorry, I should have been more clear in my question. Thanks, TB

I have a good three pin driver I'll sell you. Message me if interested.

Am I missing something? A three pin driver doesn't have anything riveted to it.... I have several laying around. Did someone already "repair" the one you have?

The flex style 3 pin driver has a thin spring steel plate riveted to the back side of it. The solid 3 pin drivers do not. Apparently thats why they break so easy. Here is my pathetic excuse for a flex style 3 pin driver lol. Thanks, J mech, I did visit Mr. Hellrungs site. Not a bad price for the clutch setup. Thanks, TB

The quiet line 3 speeds had a 3 pin driver that would flex with the ISO bushings to keep the drive line from binding. I fixed that problem by installing solid engine mounts and using a standard 3 pin driver on my nephew's 1200.

Thanks DX, I may go to that configuration in the future. For now, I am going to stick with the rubber mounts. Thanks, TB

I completely forgot the QL's had that stupid driver...... and I have a 1000.
Wonder if you could use a regular driver anyway? :bigthink:
TB, I'll look and see if I have the one off my 1000. Motor is out now getting rebuilt, and I'm going solid mounts. So, I for sure am not putting that junk driver back in. If it's any good, I'll let you know. :beerchug:
