I don't know which version of the flywheel you have, but it doesn't matter really as you will need a new flywheel, pressure plate, clutch plate and thrust (release) bearing. And then you'll end up with the newer version anyway.
Interesting design with the clutch plate, it does indeed appear to be self centring!  , I've never seen one like that before.
Mind you, even if it hadn't been, it's easy enough to align by eye, that's what I do 95% of the time. You do have to have a good eye of course  .
Can someone remind me what the differences are between the earlier and later flywheels? |
I'm stealing Tom from EAS's answer,
"Not faulty, just superseded in 2009 with a slightly larger clutch/flywheel assembly.
Problem is, both clutch/flywheel need to be changed on MY08s come replacement time since the early parts are no longer available.
The stock clutches are pretty decent, even on boosted applications."
