AR-5, r-154 Anybody actually done this
So a 96 or earlier bellhousing, Colorado bearing retainer, Colorado throw out bearing and arm, Dakota slave, Dakota clutch with gm disk and either a custom pilot bearing or the one from advanced adapters.
Am I missing anything?
-Dakota bellhousing. Any ax15 one should work. Think it was 92-00. Just we have a 95. Have not tested with a 97-00 but it should work just fine. Clutch is the same 92-00 as well as the flywheel. Actually ebay has a 98 bellhousing looks the same as our 95.
- Dust sheild is NLA. So will have to hunt for one. Or make something up.
- Starter 143 tooth unit. Ours matched from a 5.2 95 Dodge ram. Came from a pick and pull. Seems the ax15 uses the older style starter. If raiding from a pick and pull the lower hole is a stud with a nut. You can not use the later bolted in style.
- Flywheel 3.9 Dakota 92-00
- Clutch kits Dakota 3.9 92-00
- Gm Disc. We used one from a 85 Camaro with a T-5. Disc is 26 spline. Used from the 70s-80s. 1 1/8 inch 26 spline unit. 10 3/8 inch diameter. Some places say 10.5 inch
- Clutch fork is 3.9 Dakota 92-00. Need the pivot ball and the spring from the Dakota.
- Throw out bearing is also 3.9 Dakota 92-00
- Pilot bearing will need to be either custom or the advance adapters unit could be used. We have not tested the advance adapters unit.
- Using the front case of from the Colorado that is unmodified.
- Yoke from the Colorado. Seems its the later Gm small unit. Ours is actually from a 4l60e. Ours was sourced from an automatic Colorado. Gm is lazy and has small yoke and big yoke for the 00s. Just need a small yoke. Uses a 1350 u-joint.
- Slave cylinder. We have a 97 style. It has a quick dissconect. We are going to swap to something like these.

Bolts (Bolting to a 318 LA non Magnum)
- Flywheel we are using ones for a 318 mopar. ARP-240-2801
- Pressure Plate bolts are 3/8-16 - 1 inch long. Uses a lock washer from the factory.
- Bellhousing. We used factory 318 ones from our 727. 3/8-16 1.5 inches long.
- Bellhousing to transmission. We shortened ours down about a 1/4 of an inch. Bellhousing from the gm side is thicker than the dakota. Don't know thread pitch. One bolt will not be used. Colorado used 10. Dodge used 9. Still plenty.
As of now that is the current list. That does not mean things could change. Plan is to run it and then make up our list.
