Which car is the engine from?

Factory M42 clutch plate is different from the M40 ones depending on which flywheel design it is using.

 

[teejay]

m40 single flywheel use the clutch that has built in springs
m42 double flywheel uses the springless clutch as the flywheel itself has a builtin spring mecha


clutch is matched with the flywheel, even if there are some original twinmass ones, some owners change them to single mass, best is to remove it, then go look for a similair one if you are not too sure
