Anything I need to know before I order one? Different sizes, etc.

For an 87 Brat with an EA81 and the stock 4 speed has a 21 spline shaft.

 

An EA82 of the same year has a 24 spline shaft. (too big)dont make the mistake I did.

I got it all together and had no power to the wheels.

 

So you will need a friction disc for the 21 spline.

 

I think the earlier 80s cars had smaller clutches but im not 100% sure

The friction disc from my 86 Brat was 8 7/8"

the pilot bearing should be the same between EA81s and EA82s

For the throwout bearing in my car I had to press the old bearing off the "holder" and press the new one on.

I pulled the tranny when I did it. twice:rolleyes:

 

But ive heard it is easier to pull the engine. depending on the history of your engine this may be the time to change some gaskets.

 

I think that should be it. unless anyone else wants to chime in, maby more detail.

 

good luck:)
