Flathead and T-5 which clutch disc to use

Hi
My friend is puttin a ´85 camaro T-5 behind a 59 A Flattie and using an original ford pressure plate. The adaptor uses original Ford style shift rod and and he is having a sleeve made over the input shaft...BUT because not buying a complete kit which clutch disk should be used ????
Thanks

a camaro t5 will limit your options, it has the fine spline input shaft. It was available in a 10" and maybe 11", if you measure the useable area of the pressure plate, you can pick out the best fit or get a custom disc made for around $40 US

 

Try Centreforce clutches in the US, thats where i got mine from for the tremec to flatty. Cheers Jim

 

I'm gonna jump in here too, as I'm in a similar situation, but maybe different spline? S-10 T-5 to a 59A, using a 10" Ford pressure plate. Can anyone help with a clutch disc for this application?

Thanks,

Neal

 

If you want a name brand, call up Centerforce and tell them your spline count (14) and your diameter (10") and have them give you a part number. You can also try a local parts supplier and ask them if you can look in the back for a clutch disc, tell them what you are doing and they should have something for a 14 spline 10" clutch, I believe I heard some Chrysler clutch would work.

 

I'm using a GM part#15649180, I think it's for an Astro van or something.........it fits and works perfectly with the T-5 and Ford pressure plate.

 

s10/astro/camaro give you the 9/10/11" discs, but the spline is different between them. 14 or 24 or something. I actually got one for a jeep 2wd and used it with my 62 flywheel and plate.

 

You nailed it. No interference with flywheel bolts.

 

I checked my Flathead Jack catalog, they list 4 for the chevy T-5 tranny, they are the Weber brand...

#270820 1" 14 spline street strip $115
#270810 1" 14 spline performance $138
#26027R 1 1/8" 26 spline sreeet strip $115
#260170R 1 1/8" 26 spline performance $138

I'm sure you can find these cheeper....

 

You might to list this thread on Fordbarn for I thought I remember someone saying that there was a clutch shop in NY state that will make up any combo for around $40-$50.

Weber stuff is great & probally get it cheaper that from Good Ole Jackie Boy.

Good luck.

 

Thanks a lot guys. H.A.M.B. rules !!

 

Try Cornhusker, he sells 9-10-11 inch discs for the S-10.
