Is it possible to use a diesel clutch pressure plate on a petrol vehicle?

That is criminal

Yes its as I thought, is its failure due to clutch pressure plate or clutch fork?

Excellent stuff, will be out tomorrow, will keep u all posted perry

Are these hard to do/test, is it gearbox out time? Many thanks for all help once again, I am eternally grateful perry
