I recently did this conversion using a plate from nz. I have struck an issue when the splines on my twin plate clutch were stripped. My mechanic and clutch manufacturer believe it's misalignment of the gearbox to the engine due to the plate. I was wondering if anyone could provide dimensions of te whole centers for the gearbox and engine so I can check my plate

Do you have a picture?? I have a hard time believing this... I have seen plenty worn out input bearings and pilot bearings that allow the clutch disc to move all over the place and its never cause the splines to strip out... Its had to be extreamly bad to cause clutch problems..

While I'm sure anything is possible, for the splines to strip out like that, you would need a senario where the clutch or anything downstream of it needs to resist giving into (I:e: turning, twisting, spinning) a force equal to the force needed to make the metal fail. Missalignment of the box would more than likely cause heavy vibration waaay before the splines stripped."Discontent is the first necessity of progress."

material failure is my guess.
if it was a misalignment of the input shaft, there would be more wear on one side. in that picture all the teeth are evenly worn. (like when you round off a bolt)"Discontent is the first necessity of progress."

if it was misaligned that bad you would have never gotten your input shaft into the pilot bearing. I vote for shifty clutch disc hub material. Plus as said above, you would have noticed horrid vibrations and probably a growl similar to a bad wheel bearing or diff bearing.2011 BMW 128i 6 Speed Manual -- dd

plus once it starts to let go, its going to strip all the way around in a matter of a split second. think about it... running engine, moving car...Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

Sure would like to know how the fit was before the teeth stripped cuz it looks to me that the hole was too big for the shaft.'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
'90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

Car was only on run in tune 285hp on 11psi. No launches just cruising. I didn't fit the clutch originally so can't say but I have a new one so will test it tomorrow. Seems strange to me to me that the shaft wasn't damaged. If I have the measurements of the plate you guys have I can check it against my plate.
