30) How it got there

I wanted to show the adapter plate, and how this Subaru engine bolts to the Beetle. This show is of the KEP adapter plate bolted to the engine. The studs are installed to slide right into the VW transmission. All the hardware came with the kit: Adapter, flywheel, nuts & bolts.



This is with the KEP flywheel bolted into place. This allows the VW clutch, and the VW starter to mate right up! (Notice the little flywheel lock on the upper right. Makes life a little easier when torquing down the bolts)



I elected to buy a stage 1 clutch / pressure pate from KEP. Here is the clutch matted up to the flywheel. The kit even came with the alignment tool that you can see in the center.



And finally here is the pressure plate bolted up and torqued down. Be sure to tighten slowly and in a star patter here, as you can bend the pressure plate if done incorrectly.



I also wanted to show a picture of the VW transmission all ready for the engine. I got a new bushing and throw out arm. The clutch kit also came with a new throw out bearing you can see here.
