    Which Clutch should i go with

    I used the pilot tool. Once I was able to figure out how to keep the trans from slipping off my jack, ( 45 degree stab ) and twisting, (awkward sob):by using the ROPES, it slid right in.

    Which Clutch should i go with

    Wayne Brewer at Brewers Performace set me straight. When I pulled my clutch out of my 273 hipo, it was a frikin 9 inch clutch meant for a six cylinder. I am now running a 10 inch clutch with the SAME bell housing and flywheel ! He called it a 'bastard clutch' and it works by notching the plate...

    Which Clutch should i go with

    Thanks for the clarity ! This also added new un-certainty also, though. I installed the motor/trans together out of a wrecked '66, so I don't know the size. I had deducted it to be the 10 1/2 inch. This is the first time I have heard that the bell housing is special to the hipo. I was hoping...

What type is original style ? I remember reading something about the clutch pedal not working right with...

    Bad Pressure Plate ?

    Thankyou grumpuscreature ! The welds were broke. After welding it back, I fabricated a temporary bushing from a door handle. Problem fixed, and to answer my own question; yes, it is CRITICAL that the Z bar has tight fitting bushings to operate the pedal to plate. The slightest free movement will...

    Bad Pressure Plate ?

    I didn't think of the fork pivot. I'll check that in the morning. What happens to pressure plates ? Seems like if they don't let the disk slip they should be good. THANKS Grumpuscreature !

    Bad Pressure Plate ?

    OK, I felt something snap as I shifted a gear. 4-speed 833 in a '64 Dart [273]. .....limped it home with not much pedal. Upon inspection I noticed play in me torque arm and took it off. One of the 4 bearings halves had broke, so I rigged it back and started adjusting the pedal. I felt I had good...
