Lancia Beta Flywheel Assembly

This picture shows the clutch and flywheel
assemblies of both Volumex and normally
aspirated Beta.On first inspection they appear
to be pretty much identical.

But on close inspection of the centre plates the different size becomes apparent VX plate on the left and standard Beta on the right. The spring damping areain the centre is really noticeable.

The standard Beta clutch measures 215mm

Compared with 234 mm of the VX clutch. This is because or the VX's superior torque so more clutch area is required to handle the extra “oomph!”

Of course with a larger centre plate a larger area pressure plate is also required.Compare standard...

With VX again

Now pop the standard Beta centre plate onto the VX cover and this is what you get.Hmmm ..... slight difference.

A VX pressure plate will not fit a standard Beta flywheel because of the different dowel and securing bolt pattern. If you look closely you can see the dowel in the lower right of the picture but the one on the otherside will not line up.
