I'm pretty sure you can't get it the wrong way, otherwise it won't let you put the screws in?? :scratch:

Should say gearbox side on the plate, or Getriebeseite(german) if you put the plate the wrong way round it rubs on the flywheel bolts.

in laymans terms:

put the fat bit that sticks out of the plate into the clutch cover.

I was about to say Offset to the gearbox side, but that's just perfect! :agree::laugh:

Yep :ashamed: been there done that! Wondered what the tapping noise was from the gearbox!

Clutch lasted 6k then started slipping as the flywheel bolts actually went through the springs on the clutch plates:scratch:
