The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline t5 swap clutch dilemma

Hello all new to the forum, had a 61 apache sb fleet side big window for going on 3 years. Finally trying to get it going, I'm going with a 235/t5 setup, ive researched a ton about the swap but seem to be lacking some info about the clutch setup for a 10" disc. I read in a tech article on here about using a v8 flywheel, astro van disc, v8 pressure plate and throw out bearing? The only 10" 14 spline disc ive found says its for a flathead to t5 swap from speedway but I'm not sure if it would work. This is what has me stuck on the project, thanks for any help in advance!

61,

Recommend doing a search on this site and read everything on T5's.

If your current clutch is a 10 spline, then the Jeep shaft swap would be the most direct solution. You can avoid the cost of the adapter plate and retain your factory clutch package. LINK HERE

Yes its currently a 10 spline, ive never seen the jeep input shaft swap before. Seems to be a very good option rather than putting another setup together. Thank you for the help

I specialize in T5 swaps, so I’m here to help with any questions you have. I’m pretty sure you can do this with a Jeep shaft swap.

Thank you very much, I figured out the t5 trans I have is a nwc. I’ve searched and found one on eBay that says nwc 21 spline and comes with a new bearing installed. Is this the correct one I need for my nwc? [url=https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F181789554307][/url]

Not a complete Transmission. Just replace the shaft. Here's Lugnuts page.

Somewhere on his sight is a link to companies that sell parts. Or just Google.

Lugnutz is the T5 Guru, and on top of that, he's a great person. He's forgotten more than most people have learned about what works best and how to make it right. Everyone here on the site will help you get it going so you can enjoy your old truck.
