Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train Great clutch kit for T-5

I hunted for a decent clutch unit but most were small 9 inch disc or the big 11 inch for the Astro vans. The big 11 inch won`t work well with the Wilcap adapters for the MoPar flat sixes. I did find a wholesale outfit that sells a conversion kit with the early Chev V-8 pressure plate ( standard 10.4 ) and a 1 inch 14 spline-NWC- 10 3/8 disc. Good strong unit for the six bangers. Your parts store will have to order it for you. Part# 04-054--phone# 1-800-528-6743 they can tell you what parts stores they cater to.

I've read about a Vega clutch that can be used on the T-5. Could the 10-3/8" clutch be the Vega clutch?

I don`t know the answer---but with this kit you basicly get a V-8 clutch for a S-10 unit---It lists at $122 bucks wholesale....52er

Whose part number is that 52er? NAPA, BW or ??

The part# was thru Red Rooster Auto Parts in Minnesota---the number is the same from the wholesaler---like I said give them a call and they can tell you the auto stores they supply....Good Luck......52er

52er, I saw your post on the clutch. Went to Rock Auto Parts web site and searched your number and it returned RHINO PAC Part # 04054. Good to know if you want to run the 1" dia. 14 spline T5 but need the 10.4" clutch disk. Not sure which T5 I'll use. I have one out of a '94 S-10. It is a WC unit and has the traditional 1 1/8", 26 spline input and 4.680" GM bearing retainer OD, but has a Ford mounting pattern.

Update on the clutch kit---it may work ok for the Chevies---not the MoPar flat six with the Wilcap adapter---the clutch disc, the springs on the flywheel side hit the flywheel bolts---even if you turn them down there isn`t enough clearance for wear. Did find a guy in North Branch Minnesota called the Clutch Doctor---this guy knows his stuff. He understood my problem and will make a disc that will work fine. He will make any disc with the size input shaft you have. Very fair on prices. Number is 651-674-4175
