Which clutch for Toploader to Tremec swap

[Jim Holden]

I would still call Doug to discuss. Often the engine supplier will supply the disc/clutch setup. That doesn't mean you have to take his advice, but he has always been on the right track with his advice to me.

Jim - good advice.

Doug said it was certainly a Center Force clutch. He said to simply call Summit and order a clutch disc that is 11", 1 1/8"-26 and it would fit. He also gave me some other tips on doing the trans swap. Super nice guy, just like the rest of the gang in CT.

I ordered a new Center Force clutch disc today.

Did he have any preference on throw out bearings?

Did your pressure plate have the counterweights on it?

I did not ask about throw out bearings. My car only has 800 miles on it and I see no need in replacing it.

I can't tell if my pressure plate had the weights or not. ERA does suggest removing them, so they would have been removed before install.

John, the reason I asked is that some of the Toploader TOBs will not work with the TKO. Here's where Lykins comes in handy. I believe only the small input TL's TOB is compatible with the TKO. Is that correct, Brent? And what's the deal with the zerk fitting on the McLeod TOB?
