Re: Transmision early!!
I modified an multidisc bell housing to accept the later transmission input shaft and throwout bearing, lightened a regular flywheel, installed V8 pressure plate with A clutch disc. Did this in order to use the early clutch and brake pedals. Most people thought I had the multidisc clutch because of the bell housing and pedals.
This modification worked fine and is still in the A with no problems. Recently checked out clearance between pressure plate and early bell housing using the new 10" diaphram pressure plate; do to the low profile of the diaphram, in comparison to the V8, no modification would be needed on the inside of the early bell housing.

Re: Transmision early!!
Not really related to the thread but I have to ask.
I have always wondered what exact function the springs in a clutch disc do? I'm talking about the springs found in a circular pattern around the center of the disc. |

Re: Transmision early!!
I have a complete multi-disk clutch ass on a transmission [with no shift tower] that was removed from a "totaled" coupe in the early fifties and has very low miles on all. There is a super flywheel that shows absolutely no wear in the splines. It's on a cracked bell, I suppose from the wreck, and the pedals & links are present. The insides of the trans show no wear at all. I got it from the fella that changed it out for his brother.[he's over 90yrs now] and, would you believe, the car is still in the family. I'll never use it. I'm in Bowling Green, KY Let it all go for $300 [email protected]
