Are 16xe and 16se clutches the same.

Is their a difference between the 16se and 16xe clutch. Could you fit a nova clutch for a e16se flywheel onto a corsa x16xe flywheel. Or are they different since one is flat type and other is pot type flywheel.

I believe they are different due to the flywheel differences the pressure plate on a 16xe sort of sits inside the pot type flywheel. However it's probably a good idea to put a flat one on as the pot type are heavier.

thanks. problem is i have bought a billet fly wheel and not sure if its a billet 16v or billet 8v one. its now flat so i take it the 8v one is the only one that will fit.

[comptoncj]

If it's flat then it's an 8v one if it has steps in it where the bolt holes are it's a 16v

8v is flat flywheel, 16v is pot flywheel. Pressure plates are different.

[therealnovaboy]

so is this for a flat or pot type clutch?
