Marina conversion clutch problem

Post by Piston broke »

I have a 1300 marina engine fitted with a backplate and minor flywheel. It has a 1098 clutch and is married to the original gearbox. Problem is that the clutch slips.

Do I need a 1275 clutch?
Do I need a midget clutch release arm or similar?

Urgently need advice as car off the road...

Please help!!'

Something wrong with the installation. A 1098 clutch will EASILY handle a standard 1275 engine. Is there some free play at the pedal?
