Once you remove the clutch components, I would take them to one of your local parts stores (I use NAPA) and let them order a kit exactly like the one you removed. That way, if the wrong part arrives, they will return it and get you the right one (no shipping charge). If you order and get the wrong part, you will have to pay shipping several times which can be a big chunk of the cost of the part. It's always nice to be able to compare the part you have with the new one before you pay.

I have a 9 1/2 inch plate in my 1/2 ton truck .
Is it wize to keep it that way ?
Or can i better go to a bigger like 11 inch ?
Only highway use
Are fly wheels interchangeble or only for the one engine axle ?

Good service and fast shipping from Ft Wayne, plus they told me there are no "foreign" parts in their shop. and they can also rebuild anything.. Pricewise, about the same as Oreilly Auto | | |
