ECS Tuning Bellhousing Clearance Tool

Due to casting dimension variations, your new flywheel/pressure plate may rub at one or more points inside the bellhousing.

For this reason, we recommend the following: Use the ECS Tuning MKIV bellhousing clearance gauge to locate raised casting areas that will interfere with the flywheel, causing it to rub and bind.

Once your transmission has been removed, perform the following to check for proper bellhousing clearance:

• Slide the tool sleeve onto the input shaft?
• Press the sleeve in against its stop as you rotate the tool inside the bellhousing
• Note any contact points where the tool rubs and leaves shiny telltale marks
• Use a grinder to remove raised casting metal at interference points
• Test again and repeat as needed to make clearance between the new flywheel and bellhousing
