Just change the plate and the carbon thrust. Do inspect the bronze bush in the crankshaft tail........

Which is the main reason to retain the original pressure assembly - as well as 'economics'.......

Oh -well as long as there IS still some pedal free travel.......if it's starting to slip -that's pretty much a bad sign!!

You just need a plate - remember the 1098 plate is bigger than the 948 plate....... And I hope you know to pull the engine forward rather than struggle with the gearbox.......
