Default Re: 8BA Flywheel/Clutch....I've Read TOO Much

The F1 toploader trans you acquired would have come with the large input shaft that’s 1-3/8” in diameter. If your 9-1/2” clutch disc slid right onto that input shaft, then someone has had the disc modified. However, the bigger issue is the 9-1/2” pressure plate.....unless they somehow modified that also, the three fingers are going to be too close together to work with the 1-3/8” input shaft.

Make your life simple....use the 10” clutch stuff. Then, either have your existing flywheel redrilled for a 10” clutch, or buy the matching 8BA flywheel that’s already drilled for the 10” clutch. We’ve got all this in stock......
