V6 3 speed manual

Non- hypo small block V8's in light duty cars and pickups, and your Dakota V6 used a 130 tooth flywheel and a 10.5" clutch. Easiest to buy a complete, matched setup (bell housing with throw out arm and dust shields, and flywheel) from someone if possible. I agree with prior poster that the Gen 1 3.9 accepts all Non-hypo clutch V8 components like bell housing, flywheel (of proper balance type), clutch, etc. that a non-hypo V8 uses. If you find a V8 3 spd bellhousing you can use your transmission and driveshaft. If your upgrading to a later style/heavier duty type 3 spd used in most applications after 1965 you'll need a slip yoke type drive shaft to match the trans and have it shortened. While I agree with other poster that a hydraulic clutch is nicer it is a lot more fabrication and modification. Given the setup your car currently has I'd use a Borg and Beck style pressure plate/clutch assembly. If you switch to a hydraulic clutch I'd use a diaphram style clutch assembly.
