Re: Correct Clutch?

Measure the diameter of the clutch disk, that looks like a 11" but a tape measure across its face will verify.

Have the flywheel refaced and replace the bronze bush in the end of the crank. It looks like it has walked out a little.

Watch installing the clutch lever, make sure you add a little grease on the pivot. Also make sure the pivot ball is not worn out.

Finally, check the mounts for the transmission and replace if they are soft...it looks like there is some oil leakage in that area so check it out.

Re: Correct Clutch?

I planned on resurfacing the flywheel, the clutch measures roughly 11 3/4".

Smile Re: Correct Clutch?

it looks as if only the outer 1 1/2" of the clutch disc was touching. I run a 12" heavy duty clutch in my 69 suburban with no issues, I went with the larger diameter since its a 3/4 ton 4x4. definitely have the flywheel turned, looks like it has hot spots.
