Long story short I purchased a basket case buggy from a deceased owners son. I have what I am told is a 2054cc engine, I also have 2 pre 1971 AH code transmissions, no money in the budget for a bigger/better trans. The pressure plate on the motor has no center ring which I need for my throwout bearing. I have seen the kit mentioned from Sachs to convert the old pre 1971 style to the newer type. Has anyone used this with success?

A lot cheaper to just put the ring back on the pressure plate

Might check the classifieds too

That center ring won't work on mine, I'll have to keep checking the classifieds or just buy a new pressure plate.

Thanks

You can get a Kennedy Stage I for about $100.00.

That should be able to handle whatever that engine puts out.

Beats having to mess around with it again. While you are at it put in a CB Super disc and be done with it.

I'm running that combo in my buggy and it handles my turbo just fine.

If you don't get a new pressure plate, I have a couple of that style pp I could pull the ring off and send you. Pm me if you're interested.
