Pnwea81berk Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 So I've made the mounts work I have an flywheel for the trans. But now I go and get a spline count on the input shaft and its 24 tooth and then spindle diameter is 7/8 not 1 inch. when I've looked for clutch packs I can't find any thing what am I doing wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pnwea81berk Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Yeah I figured what I was I had wrong also turns out I've got a pre EA82 5 speed with smaller input shaft nothing really out on the market for these. Better to get the right trans first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 What is a pre 85 5 speed? A fwd only box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnwea81berk Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) No so the spline for the clutch is a 24 tooth count and the thickness is 7/8" not the the standard 1 inch. Every where I go and order up parts I can't find the right one. It still 4wd dual rang but it might be 1984.5 and probably discontinue in 1985 Edited November 27, 2017 by Pnwea81berk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) No so the spline for the clutch is a 24 tooth count and the thickness is 7/8" not the the standard 1 inch. Every where I go and order up parts I can't find the right one. It still 4wd dual rang but it might be 1984.5 and probably discontinue in 1985 There were no Pre-ea82 4wd 5-spds. All 5spd 4wd trans had the 1" input. Sounds like you have a FWD 5-spd or 4-spd 4wd. As installed in the car, is the clutch fork on the drivers side or hte passenger side of the bellhousing? And is there for sure a rear output directly out of the tail of the trans? Edited November 27, 2017 by Gloyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Another way of looking at it is where the clutch throw out bearing slides, is it integrally cast as part of the bell housing and in alloy or is it a rustable metal that bolts to the bell housing? And where the shift mechanism exits the box what's it look like? Who is telling you the specs of gearbox input shaft measures and spline counts? Spline counting is usually expressed by number of teeth on the male member not the female of the friction plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
