I am preparing to replace the clutch assembly (clutch kit). The parts store computer shows 2 sizes of Disk/Pressure plate assemblies a 9" and a 11". I am pre-ordering before disassembly and I do not know what size my truck currently has installed? Are the 9 and 11" assemblies interchangable with no problem bolting up to the standard stock 216 flywheel?
Best Regards

GMC uses a different flywheel for a larger clutch. Chev probably does too. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 |
When replaceing a clutch you need to pull it first. There are many options. The 9 & 11 will not interchange on the same flywheel.

Thanks for the 9" vs 11" vs flywheel application information.
