Ok, I have the clutch out now. I am trying to parse this out, whether it is the wrong clutch disc, and what new clutch to order. In light of the problem described above, Can anyone tell from the pictures whether this is a clutch that would belong in this truck? The pressure plate assembly looks old and venerable and makes me assume it was in a long time. The disc is new. The dust pan shows a sliced hole from an obviously disintegrating clutch disc. Maybe a synchro driven overspeed in a shift to second instead of fourth. So, is the diaphragm type clutch correct for this truck? Is the clutch disc obviously for a different truck altogether? I know the transmission was changed to an old four speed. The engine is about a 59 , 235. With the disc installed with the side where the spring assembly protrudes to the pressure plate, I get the condition described. It wont go in the other way, hits the flywheel bolts. Basically, I just want to order all new clutch, but am confused and not confident what to order. It’s 10 inch , 10 spline.
