Clutch Replacement
Hi All, Has anyone found an off the shelf source for clutch kits.I did see rock auto has one but it is a 12 inch set up which replaces the 11 inch which is what i took out. I'm not too sure about this replacement kit as i like to put in what i took out.
Thanks For any and all in put. Mark Hoyt Reading Penna.

Re: Clutch Replacement
You can do an 11 inch but you have to do some cobbling. The 12 inch is the way to go. By the early 70's most gm trucks came with the 12 anyway. Barry

Re: Clutch Replacement
I just went through this myself. Here's the thread in TRansmissions and rear ends. Barry knows his stuff too. Without him I wouldnt have ever got this much done.

Re: Clutch Replacement
Hi All,
I have the clutch in but have encountered another issue and I'm looking for advice. I noticed today that the input shaft bearing retainer is cracked. I have a spare but it is about 5/8 inch shorter does anyone think this will be an issue?? Thanks Mark Hoyt Reading Penna.

Actually, it may be a problem for you. The retainer with the shorter sleeve uses a release brg. assy. that is a little longer. The short sleeve used with the short release brg. can bind at full release of the clutch and sometimes cause real problems. I would look for the longer retainer or the longer release brg. assy. to go with the short retainer. I have the right stuff around here and if I find it I will snap a pic for you. Then I'll mail the whole ball of wax to you. (If I can find it) There might be one closer to you, but I'll look for my parts just in case. Les

Re: Clutch Replacement
Thanks Les,
That is the scenerio i was afraid of, but perhaps i could just buy a long T/O bearing and use that. I think finding another long nose bearing retainer could be difficult unless some one in the club has one they would sell me. Thank You Mark Hoyt Reading Penna.

Re: Clutch Replacement
Agreed.
I've found the long retainer in Med. duty trucks.
