Default Re: clutch replacement

Jim,

First step is to determine if the car has a single disc or multi-dice clutch. A single disc, similar to your 33, is your decision how to replace.

New parts for a multi-disc haven't been made probably since 1930. You or owner must collect original clutch packs & throw out bearings to find serviceable parts along with the spline flywheel.

There are a few people I'd recommend laying on their backs struggling to mate the spline clutch into the flywheel....you don't deserve that adventure. Much easier with the engine out of the car.

Last option is to replace all the multi-disc pieces with ones from a later single disc.

Approach with care, Best, jb
