I just got my Ram Clutches power grip clutch today :) Here are the pics. It looks like a nice piece, but I couldn't get the exact specs from Ram but they said 80% better than stock. This is a 10 inch clutch for a slant and the part number is 98729. My question is about the scallops where...

I'll be installing a new clutch in the next couple of weeks and I'm looking to have the flywheel resurfaced. The questions are: How do I know if it can be resurfaced BEFORE I take it down to NAPA? What is the min thickness for a 122 tooth flywheel? I'm pretty sure I can mic the flywheel...

I'm going to be rebuilding my trans in the next couple of months and have some questions regarding what needs to be replaced and how to tell whats damaged. Symptoms are: 1. Generally noisy (rattle, vibratons) 2. Crunching 1st and 2nd and really hard to downshift 3. Leaks around shift levers I...

Anyone out there with a stock 3 arm clutch and a hydraulic setup, Did you remove your over center spring? I've got a stock /6 with a 10" clutch and a hydraulic setup and the pedal is a little too easy. If I release it fast it's not a problem but in stop and go traffic where I have to let off...

I've got to take the car in for an alignment and was wondering how to go about making sure that the idiots at the shop don't smoke my clutch. Now I may sound a little paranoid but I've been at those places and hear how they treat cars. On one sad occasion after I had tires put on my 5 speed...

I've got a squeak coming from the shift fork. Can I pop the fork off of the ball in the bellhousing to put some grease or something in there without too much trouble? or should I just turn up the stereo? Thanks Matt

After my 4-speed swap I've been looking for a shift knob that suites my personality. So I made a custom pistol grip shifter out of wood coated with epoxy and painted silver, looked really cool but one too many vigorous shift into second and it split all of the way up the side.....and went...

Welp, Test drove the 833-od tonight!. Started on Friday of last week. Hydraulic clutch and the whole thing. talk about a live feeling, the manual seems to be a lot less "soft", course I still have a big hole in the floor..and no carpet. The whole thing went pretty well but there are a...

how do I get the stock style bayonet shifter out ?? Thanks Matt

I ordered flywheel bolts for my slant 6 ( 7/16 - 20 ) but when I picked them up. they look like average grade 5 bolts, kinda yellowish, threaded all the way to the head, and full thickness heads....is that right?? I paid like $7 so buying new ones is just wait time... but from what I remember...

Well, I'm a few days from my 4-speed swap and have a few last questions: 1. ATF or gear oil? the OD i'm putting in has the remnants of ATF in it. 2. clutch/starter lockout? the thing that wont let the car start without the clutch pedal depressed. where does it go or how do I put one in? OR how...

This might be a completely stupid question, but what is the difference between a "self aligning" and "thrust" throwout bearing? and what are the pros/cons to using either? I'm familiar with what a thrust bearing is, ( flat disc of radially oriented needle bearings ) I imagine that the...

Can I use bolts that hold the flex plate to the crank to bolt the flywheel to the crank or are they too short? Will some "mildly scuffed" teeth on the starter gear of the flywheel cause starter engagement problems? the front edges of mine look rounded on one side and burred on the other...
