hi bruce you can machine the inside of the flywheel and pressure plate. it looks like the outer diameter is the same on the clutch disc and the pressure plate. turn the hole larger in the middle of both and the disc will fit. I have done this before. not on a 4 series but on several other vehicles where things were a bit custom Greetings from Jorn from Norway 🤟
100% my first thought, I have done this before and worked a treat. My lathes not big enough so I had the guy who machines my discs lathe out the centers for $50
@@jrnerikjohansen1572 Yup, this is actually common practice on stuff that's so old the parts just aren't there and you have to make do with what you have.
Scania’s central warehouse is located in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The location of the central warehouse allows us to have 98% parts availability throughout North America. This enables us to deliver what you need, when you need it, wherever you are. Per thier website. Also says 98% delivery success within 24 hours.
BTW, if you want help from the Nordic, use metric measurement tape. So it most likely makes sense in millimeters, rather than having "a bit over 9 inches". 9.44882 inches is exactly 240mm.
Yanks will use anything but the metric system. Instead of telling him that “a bit over 9 inches is equal to 240mn” tell him it’s about as deep as a standard microwave, then it’ll work out perfect. 😂😂
i work at a Scania dealer and we have the tool for the taking of the clip on the release bearing, well four of them, and they are always not where they are supposed to be
Your pressure plate and flywheel are not trash. You can have your flywheel resurfaced, it has minimal heat marks on it. And your pressure plate rebuilt.
As many previously commented I also think you should machine away material in the old fly wheel and preassure plate so the new clutch works. As long as the splined center fits this should be the most quick and cost effective option 👍
No one just posts, "That was done right." This is what drives the algorithm and clicks. Us talking back and forth right now just won two more internet points towards cash. @@blafoobar9997
It's a long shot for sure and maybe you've asked, but you can't ask Scania themselves? I mean, this series is basically free marketing for them! Yes it's an old truck, but they must know of some old spare parts seller that knows where to find it. Volvo has an old lady like that in Gothenburg, guys who restore old Volvo trucks tend to give her a call for parts numbers and advice on which scrap yard is likely to have the parts.
@@Low760 She works at Volvo Truck Center in Bäckebol. Maybe she's retired though, but I saw her last time I was there in September. However, I doubt she knows much about trucks outside of the EU.
Bruce, take the flywheel and pressure plate to a good machine shop and machine the 1/2" out of the centre you need, also skim the flywheel at the same time, you could have this done in a morning
At minute 10.50 you have to push the clamp on the clutch apart so that you can unhook the release bearing sorry for My Bad Englisch i am a scania mechanic in Austria
Just a hint for the crane at 12:40 and 15:12, instead of using the pliers to lower the load the handle should be 'pinched' at the end so you can slide it over the flat sides of the release control. You can also tilt the handle outward to increase the sensitivity of the release (to stop sudden drops of heavy loads) as it makes the turning circle larger on the control. It's the same control scheme as the smaller hydraulic floor jacks that use the detatchable handles (I think up to 2 ton but don't quote me).
First of all, get yourself a metric tape measure. Only the U.S. is still using medieval units like the inch, the foot, the pound etc. Europeans only use the metric system, and can only look for parts if you give them precise metric sizes, ‘a bit over 9 inch’ really doesn’t work. I’m sure the engine has a type plate, the type number can help us to get the right parts. It may well be that your clutch is a very universal part that is used on many European trucks of many brands. If you can supply us with the outer diameter, the drive shaft diameter, and the number of teeth on the shaft, that may help.
Would be cool if you used the other Scania to tow the show truck. Should drive fine (par not having ABS) with US trailers if you move the fifth wheel forward to get more load on the front axle and it would look amazing for a parade or something. Don't know about the US, but in Europe (in my experience) when a clutch gets replaced the pressure plate is replaced alongside it at least on cars (and trust me, no one here buys torque converter autos so most cars go through a clutch eventually). Hope all goes well with the project though! Probably not many of those in the US so definitely guaranteed to turn heads.
With all that work to get the transmission out I would contact your friends at Scania and get them to air freight a flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk, and throw out bearing and do it right so you don't have to pull the transmission out again boy I sure wish you had pressure washed the truck before you started you would be much cleaner GOOD LUCK! 🙂
Your fancy clutch plate is probably the right one for the chassis number. Larger engined or heavier workloads are usually fitted with twin plate ceramic plates with a steel disc in between them. This make for a stronger coupling but with a smoother operation. I feel your best choice is to have the old ones repaired but always make sure in using the gearbox correctly, paying special attention to use the lower gears when setting off and don’t jump gears when changing up. This will just lead to clutch overheating, glazing over and possible lay shaft damage.
Just one more thing, when fitting it all back together, make sure you get every last bit of air out of the intarder or else you will be needing and new intarder and possibly gearbox. Just a distant memory of me sending an MAN truck back to our dealership. They messed up and he broke down after getting back to Germany, off the England to France ferry. He was an owner driver and our dealership would not admit fault. The fitter did a quick disappearing act to another dealership.
Val air can build your clutch but probably not that fast see if there's a local clutch remanufacturing place in Florida your flywheel can be resurfaced
I try to think along with you. My father-in-law was a workshop manager. At Koops Transport, Bunschoten-Spakenburg. More than 100 trucks. Maybe he has something else! Which could come soon.
Hey, to disconnect the pressurebearing from the pressureplate you have to push the 2 pins appart NOT together and the push it easily in front (towards the Engine) and than it should go very easy
Pro tip, when separating the throwoutbearing from the pressureplate. Use a ziptie to pull the two “legs” on the retaining spring together, then put a long prybar behind the clutchfork and leverage it on the bellhousing and then yank the fork forward towards the engine instead of backwards towards the gearbox. Try it, and thank me later 😂
Hi Bruce nice work. I never knew you could remove the pressure plate like that. You can also remove the retarder fairly easy, an make a blockoffplate if I remember correctly. Might ask the experts in Finland. Scania makes a bellhouse for an Allison six speed automatic.
Get the flywheel with tne new clutch to be machined to the right specs, and the flywheel machined at the same time, that is how we do it here in Finland
If i remember correctly, it will be a valeo clutch plate and disc. Can your usual clutch supplier not try and cross match it with something that will fit.Maybe worth a try.
See that wee clip on the pressure plate that you have the cable tie or zip tie as you folks call it? Use a pair of long handled long nose pliers to pull it tight so that both legs of the clip are together then just carry on with the job and when you pull the box back the clutch will release.
Bruce, what about a local Machine Shop with a large jaw lathe and just have them enlarge the diameter of the inner hole to accommodate the new pressure plate . And as long as it's in the lathe Have them Do truing Cuts And resurface The pressure plate And flywheel . It would probably be a lot cheaper than just the shipping from Sweden . Just a thought!
must be a clutch builder someplace.. the pucks replaced. I was thinking of SPEC clutch over in alabama..but they do pulling trucks with gas engines... like pickups. they even make billet flywheels. They even made a whole assembly for my dual range subaru... I exceeded all versions available except for the SPEC version.
If I was doing the job I would ask Scania for what is needed (part Nos,truck details of engine etc)and you have your old clutch details too)So having all the details you can explore the net,maybe Scania could help better sorce one for you.
Hi, nice trucks Had an Uncle that worked for Scania till the late 90's Can you not just machine the pressure plate and flywheel to have them match the clutch disk, even as a temporary job ? Could not see how they are build but this seems doable.
Funny how the red and silver Scania was deemed junk, rotted frame, not with restoring, so it was cut up and destroyed, yet its engine was fine. All its engine needed was maintenance and a tune. The white Scania, not junk, had a junk, trashed engine. 🤔
I hope your thinking about building yourself a roll cage for when your doing all these events with this new crazy looking truck , Im okay with what your doing .
I have had a few custom built clutches from a place out of tn. Carolina clutch. Used to be located in hickory nc. Literally took the clutch there waited 45 minutes and was back in route home with a new clutch check them out and see if they can help you

I used to go to work with my dad on old trucks in what was just an old farm's unused tin barn outside Dublin. 2 man shop working on older models for mostly owner-operators or call-outs to quarries/sites for break downs. Your experience in this video brings me back to those days. The Owner of the "Garage" used to curse and blind like no other ("The F'in, B'stardin, C*ntin, Bo11oxin, hour of a thing" followed by a rant including varying levels of more swearing depending on just how much of a pain it was being) cos most of the trucks were like this one.. Everything siezed, or buried under 5 other systems or jammed so tight between things that it's near impossible to get at or with various bodges/mods which mean it's not standard parts for the model. Looking forward to more of this. Would it be worth contacting someone in Canada? At least it wouyld be on the same continent? /edit, nevermind last comment, you already explained.. Teach me for typing before seeing the vid to the end.😅 I'm sure someone will help.. Whether it'll make it to you in time.. I can only hope.
I would LOVE to see the choptop done RIGHT, for I do think (Yes, it would require a lot of work, time and also money) that the truck could look freakin' AWESOME.
Just take your flywheel and pressure plate to any competent machinist and have the center opened up to fit the new clutch plate. You could also take the original clutch disk and have it relined which is actually a very common procedure. If you were closer I could easily machine the flywheel and pressure plate, it's an hour or less of work. Finding another clutch disk shouldn't be hard either. If you want your existing clutch plate relined you could probably get that done at industrial brake and clutch in Seminole.
hello bruce , ther arr to types of scania clutches. You have a sachs for 4 series , and the new one is from 5 series. you cant put a 5 series disc on a 4 series because the plate have diferent siZe on the interior . Second issue , you have to meassure the heigh betwen the cover plate and the cover thahave little coils near on the hub.

Good to see your sugestion because thats all i use from any gear box from a nissan patrol to the big MACK TRIPLE SHAFT 18 speed , ,. i did modifie the floor jack a bit ,lengthen & widen the front wheel base and the width of axle so wont tip forward or tip over , and welded up a v shape cradel to suite the shape of box , then lift rear of the truck to roll the jack with box out under the rails . Done a mack with no help whole job ,
You can lift your engine hoist boom by hand instead of using the hydraulic jack. Just keeping picking it up and letting it down. Rinse and repeat until desired height. 🤯
Is it just the centre that’s too small ?? Can you get the centre machines bigger … one other question why didn’t you just cut out the cross member and make it so you can’t just bolt it back in
There are two different V8 Engines build at the 4 Series. The 14.2 Litres DS14 and the 16.0 Litres Engine. The „new“ Clutch ist for the 16.0 Litres or 16.4 Litres engine but it will not fit for the 14.2 Litre.
What you really need is a matching heavy duty Pressure Plate to suit the HD Clutch disc. Ideally they are sold as a pair, it's pointless using a standard Pressure Plate as it defeats the purpose. Also buy a new Flywheel, that one is toast, even grinding out the hot spots and heat cracks will reduce efficiency and pressure.
hi bruce
you can machine the inside of the flywheel and pressure plate.
it looks like the outer diameter is the same on the clutch disc and the pressure plate.

If you have a decent clutch shop in your town, you can take the organic material off your old disc and have it punched out to fit ceramic pucks.
It's not just the ceramic pucks that make the plate heavy duty, it is also the stronger centre springs.
Best advice Beggers can't be choosy. @tommydscott I agree.

Good to see your sugestion because thats all i use from any gear box from a nissan patrol to the big MACK TRIPLE SHAFT 18 speed , ,. i did modifie the floor jack a bit ,lengthen & widen the front wheel base and the width of axle so wont tip forward or tip over , and welded up a v shape cradel to suite the shape of box , then lift rear of the truck to roll the jack with box out under the rails . Done a mack with no help whole job ,
Just a question can’t you go get the flywheel and pressure plate cut on the diameter little bit bigger to make that work
You did mentioned before that there are certain scania specialists located in the US. Why don’t you just consults them instead???
Have you tried any of pro truck racing teams for a clutch, they may have some or knowing where to get durable ones?
You can lift your engine hoist boom by hand instead of using the hydraulic jack. Just keeping picking it up and letting it down. Rinse and repeat until desired height. 🤯
Greetings from Romania
Is it just the centre that’s too small ?? Can you get the centre machines bigger … one other question why didn’t you just cut out the cross member and make it so you can’t just bolt it back in
25:03 your best pronouncing of Ylivoimala so far, very close to perfect.
You should buy a trailer of the brand VM-trailer or Hafo to have to your Scania. They are in Sweden, maybe Finland
There are two different V8 Engines build at the 4 Series. The 14.2 Litres DS14 and the 16.0 Litres Engine. The „new“ Clutch ist for the 16.0 Litres or 16.4 Litres engine but it will not fit for the 14.2 Litre.
What you really need is a matching heavy duty Pressure Plate to suit the HD Clutch disc. Ideally they are sold as a pair, it's pointless using a standard Pressure Plate as it defeats the purpose. Also buy a new Flywheel, that one is toast, even grinding out the hot spots and heat cracks will reduce efficiency and pressure.
I get u one here in Ireland have it to you in a few days
Is there any place local that would resurface the old cluch?
Deadass had a dream i met bruce and checked out the scanias with my fiance
